The Y offers Child Watch for members’ children while they are utilizing the facilities. This service is available for children ages 6 weeks thru 8 years. It’s FREE for those with Household Memberships, for those with any other membership type it is $2.00 for two hours. There is a two-hour limit/day. Parents must remain on the Y premises while children are in Child Watch.

Our YMCA has full service locker rooms. Day use is free to all users of the YMCA. To use a day locker, bring your car keys or personal item to the front desk in exchange for a locker key. When the locker key is returned, your item is also returned to you. Monthly locker rentals are available for a $8.33/month on monthly draft. This would enable a member to keep personal belongings locked in a locker at the branch for an ongoing time period.
