What climbers say again and again
“One of the most beautifully kept, well maintained facilities in the state with the friendliest staff you’ll ever encounter!”
From the reviews
Like all the other YMCAs I visited from Tacoma to Silverdale this one is no exception is very clean from the atmosphere big kids running around and the staff is very accommodating similar to the YMCA in Silverdale.
I love this place. There are so many activities for every age range that no one feels left out. Pool time, an indoor track, weights and everything else. I've always found the staff to be extremely understanding, especially since I forget which locker I have around 68% of the time.
One of the most beautifully kept, well maintained facilities in the state with the friendliest staff you’ll ever encounter! Can’t speak more highly of this place or praise it enough. It’s truly my family’s happy place!
Great place to warm up everything! My daughter love the swimming class so I enjoy working out on those weight machines! Very clean environment! everything was cool and just great. Thank you!
