Powered by GoogleThe YMCA is a great place for family time! The pool is amazing and many options for extra curricular activities. As a parent of adult children now I accessed their Ycamp before and after school daycare services. Kids are kept busy, clean and organized there.. When my son grew up he worked for the YMCA kids camp as a counselor for 3 years and coordinated kitchen duties with theculinary certificate earned from FHS. FHS has a wide array of options for kids- exploring their career. Many positive things to say about the Y.
I had never been there. They were kind enough to take me on a tour. Nice facility. Way more equipment than I expected.
I went lap swimming here, it was ok. An older facility, but it was clean and this is a 25m pool.
The staff here are very polite, my kids do Tae Kwon Do here, soccer, swimming, racquetball, and I work out in the gym, so everyone is happy.
This is a great place to host a kids birthday party. Plenty of room and things for the kids to do to keep the kids happy. They also have a family zone play room that will burn off all of the excited energies from classmates sharing a friend's birthday.
