New YMCA Location in Fountain!
The YMCA is back open in the Fountain Valley, and they now have some new digs.
In partnership with Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, the Y is now in the Dean Fleischauer Activities Center. This expands available space for the Y to get some new equipment and a basketball court. They will also host middle and elementary after-school programs, as well as the learn and play daycare for when parents are working out.
“The YMCA is thrilled to continue to advance our partnership with Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 in a way that will offer Fountain community residents more opportunities to grow through programs and services in spirit, mind, and body,” said Boyd Williams, President & CEO of the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region. “Thanks to the foresight and leadership at the school district, the Y will soon have a permanent home located right next to the beautiful new middle school, allowing the YMCA to serve individuals of all ages in a facility that the community so well deserves.”
