he Summerville Family YMCA is dedicated to building healthy, confident and connected children, adults and families. “The great thing about the YMCA is no matter what income bracket or fitness ability, or what you’re looking for, the YMCA is there for you,” downtown branch director Jan Parsons said. “We’ve got anything in our facilities from newborns to somebody as old as 95 years old.” Parsons said the first two months of the year are always the busiest time for the three Summerville YMCA branches. And there doesn’t seem to be much of a drop off in participation this year as spring rolls

around. “We’re still holding strong,” said Parsons, who has been with the Summerville YMCA since 1988. “We’re increasing our membership total. People are always welcomed to come in and take a tour of the facilities.” The downtown facility is located at 208 W. Doty Dr., while the Oakbrook facility is at 900 Crosscreek Drive and the Ponds facility at 101 Pottery Circle. The three facilities collectively offer conventional weight and cardio activities, indoor swimming, outdoor swimming and outdoor sports and also indoor sports. The Oakbrook facility, the origin of the Summerville YMCA, opened in 1976. The downtown facility opened in 2002 and the Ponds opened in early 2009. Always a big day is the opening of the outdoor pool at Oakbrook. It’s planned for April 2 this year.
