Riviera Club - About the Rivi

Beyond the benefits of having one of the world’s largest swimming facilities in one location as Your Club, The Riviera Club is a place for families to join together for special events in our Dining Room or Picnic Area. The Dining Room has been host to holiday meals, special events and a myriad of activities since its inception.

The Rivi is and has been so much about Family that older generations of Rivi members state that “we grew up at the Rivi” or “my spouse and I met at the Rivi”.

It was a different time when the Rivi first opened its doors but the Rivi was built with the family in mind. Communities are only as healthy as the families that inhabit them... Our organization is about building a confident youth and creating family togetherness in a healthy and constructive atmosphere. We have a unique setting where it’s OK to have a great time with your family! We long to bring back the sense family that harkens back to a slower and kinder time.

The Riviera Club was built before the nuclear family, before cell phones and the internet, before drive-thru restaurants and online-gaming. We believe that there are some things worth holding on to from the past, like a sense of family and a sense of community.

We believe we can help create healthier and stronger families by creating a social and recreational experience that is wholesome and fun for the entire family.
