West Suburban YMCA Receives $90,000 Grant from Cummings Foundation
The West Suburban YMCA (WSYMCA) has been awarded a significant grant of $90,000 from the Cummings Foundation.What Our Members Say
The Y has such amazing programming for children. Both of our kids have attended the Preschool which has done such a great job preparing them for school, and we’ve also done the swim lessons once our daughter started going to elementary school (weekly swim lessons are included for the preschool!! One of the greatest perks!). All of the staff have been so warm and welcoming and I cannot say enough great things about them! Also wanted to provide a special call out for how the Y handled the recent NTA strike - they quickly pivoted and provided a much needed program for working parents of Newton. My daughter came home every day with new crafts and stories of her new friends!
— Katie Murphy
Great YMCA - surprisingly large on the inside, multiple pools, rooms for yoga and fitness classes, a basketball gym, full workout room with all the machines and free weights you could need. Good atmosphere.
— Greg W. for Church St Y
New professional level weight machines and 6 pickleball courts (lined over basketball courts). Beautiful lap pool and many organized health workouts.
— Ruane C. for Wells Ave Y
Without the pool I would wither.
