From the reviews

The facility is clean and welcoming! There's something for everyone. The facility is multifunctional/multifaceted. Work out in the gym, take a walk on the inside track, join a zumba or stretch class, have fun in the pool or water park, let the kids stay in kid care... I love that there's so much to choose from!

Today my grandsons and I came to enjoy this YMCA, coming from the eastlake YMCA. The front staff is very nice and inviting. I told them that it is our first time here, they asked me if I wanted a tour, I got it immediately. Nice and active inside.

★★★★★ — Melinda, Oct 2025

I love the Wade Walker YMCA in Stone Mountain. It is staffed by friendly people, is well maintained and has a generous parking lot. The swimming pool is large and has 4 lap lanes with 2-3 always available for lap swimming. There are sections for families and kids and there is even an outdoor pool with slides, etc.

★★★★☆ — Valerie, Dec 2025

Friendly, welcoming staff. Lots of members who come in regularly. Super stretch class plus they have just started yoga classs for all levels. Also I got a really good orientation to the weight room that made it easy to weights to my routine.
