Things to Do at the Galion Center YMCA


The Galion Community Center YMCA offers a variety of things for kids and adults to enjoy.

Adult offerings at the Center Y include Silver Sneakers programs, volleyball, basketball, and aquatics. Some options include taking classes, lifting weights, participating in walking programs, and spending time in the pool or Jacuzzi.

Youth offerings at the Galion YMCA include swimming, soccer, basketball, cross country tennis, and track & field.

Child care, before & after school care, and summer day camp are also part of the Community Center's offerings.

As a kid (more than a few years ago) I attended summer day camp at the Galion YMCA, and while I can't attest to what it's like for kids today - back then - it was a blast. 


Brief History of the Galion Center YMCA


The YMCA moved from its original location at the National Guard Armory to its Gill Avenue location in 1966. 

In the sixties, people working at local businesses like north Electric contributed to a fund to help build the Gill Avenue facility with the understanding that no child would ever be turned away from using the facility if they couldn't pay.

(Thanks to my mother and her friends for the local history lesson  - in stories shared with me over dinner.) 

The Gill Avenue facility of the YMCA was completed in 1966, according to the Center Y's website.

More renovations began in the seventies, and over the years several other additions have expanded the offerings of the Galion Community Center YMCA.

These additions increased the Y's ability to provide the youth and adults of Galion with things to do and ways to be healthier.
