A great reason to live in Addison is the Addison Athletic Club.  The Athletic Club offers a wide variety of recreational, health, fitness and athletic programs for residents only.  There are about 3500 members with approximately 400 participating on the busiest days. Special programs and events for all ages are offered throughout the year.  Want to know the best part?   Memberships are valid for as long as you reside in Addison and the cost is ..................... a ONE TIME non-refundable $10.00 processing fee per applicant.  You did not read that incorrectly.  Not once a month, not once a year, just one time for as long as you live in Addison!

So what do you get for all this?  The facilities include:

• Indoor and outdoor swimming pools
