YMCA Fort Wayne

The YMCA is a great place to go. It is very family oriented and has so many different activities to choose from, it ranges from game room to kids gym to rock climbing to swimming and the wonderful splash park. And for parents who have a child(ren), the Y provides childcare so parents can focus on their workout, what a great perk and they have so many more. From time to time the Y opens up their facility to the public so EVERYONE can enjoy and experience the wonderful atmosphere for you and your family. Just recently, on Memorial Day, Parkview YMCA had an event call the Memorial Day Splash where you can take your family for a free day pass and enjoy the Splash Park while they provide treats and goodies for the kids and entertainment for everyone with a live band! What a fantastic way to cool off after a hot summer's day.

Please visit back often as more events will be available to you from your Fort Wayne YMCA (Central Branch, Jorgensen, OldFort, Parkview and Southeast).
