Community Nights at the YMCA

Welcome

Free Access this Summer

This June and July, your local Y is opening its doors to the entire community. Join us every Wednesday from 5–7 pm for Community Nights — a free opportunity for individuals and families to experience the YMCA with full member access. No membership required.

Step into the Y for an evening of swimming, group exercise, kids and family activities, fitness, and community connection — with access to the same spaces, programs, and amenities our members enjoy every day.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE

Guests enjoy member access during Community Nights, including wellness spaces, recreational swimming, group exercise classes, gyms, family-friendly areas and more. Activities vary by branch. Does not include swim lessons.

CHECKING IN

Stop by the location of your choice on Wednesdays from 5–7 pm and look for the Community Nights check-in desk. A friendly YMCA staff member will greet you and help activate your guest pass. You’ll be asked to provide a few details to create a guest account, and within minutes you’ll be ready to enjoy the Y. All guests must check in at our Welcome Desk, but if you’re new to the Y, you can set up a non-member account ahead of your visit to save time check-in. When creating a guest account, first select “Sign Up,” then select the branch you are most likely to visit and scroll to the bottom of the page, and select “Other Ways to Join – Non-Member.” Guests ages 18 and younger must have a parent or guardian on their account.
