Our Facility
Our YMA Health, Fitness and Aquatics facility is a bright, welcoming, and fully accessible space featuring a gymnasium, fitness centre, heated lane pool, and a warmer leisure pool meant for relaxation and play.
Opened in 2012, our YMCA was made possible thanks to generous community donors who supported our Capital Campaign and is located within the Julie McArthur Regional Recreation Centre, which is owned by the City of Owen Sound.
