History
In 1949, Corporate Employees Recreation Association, or CERA, was formed as an organization of recreation facilities and leisure activities for employees, retirees, and their families. At that time, the company was known as Convair, was later changed to General Dynamics, then LMRA, and most recently to CERA. CERA has now grown to include approximately 25 associate companies and 16 organized recreational programs at a 10-acre site known as the CERA Recreation Complex. The CERA Recreation Complex is the site of a newly renovated 70,000 square foot Health, Wellness, and Fitness facility. CERA's recreation program also features the Squaw Creek Golf Course, located in Willow Park, 18 miles west of the recreation complex off I-20.
