“If you have been considering a membership to the YMCA, now is the time to get started,” said Jesse Kelley, YMCA Branch Director. “We have a lot of exciting things happening at the Y.

The new Clarion County YMCA will be centrally located on a seven-acre tract easily accessible from Exit 62 off Interstate 80 near the Clarion Oaks Golf Course. The new facility will triple the size of the current Y and include a warm-water family pool with lap lanes that can be used for recreation, exercise, aqua aerobics, swim lessons and other activities.
The 35,000 square foot facility will also include:
– Full service wellness center outfitted with cardiovascular and resistance training equipment, free-weights, and group exercise studios.
– Full gymnasium with a separate running/walking track.
– Child Watch & Kids Adventure Center
– Office space for outpatient rehabilitation.
– Outdoor athletic field.
– Administrative space with offices, conference rooms, work stations and kitchen.
– Multi-purpose rooms to support seniors in the mornings and children and teens after school.
– Support spaces, including lobby, reception, café, locker rooms for men, women, families and those with special needs, bathrooms, and storage.
An official groundbreaking is being planned for 2017, and completion of the project is expected within approximately 12 to 15 months from groundbreaking.
