HASTINGS — Following two years of renovations, the newly upgraded Hastings Family YMCA reopened to the public on Monday, June 17.
There had been seven years of planning leading up to the moment of the new facility opening. The former YMCA building has been constructed in 1980 and had reached the end of its service.
The other YMCA facility on 18th St. that served as its replacement for the past two years will now be sold to a local church.
The new Hastings Family YMCA is located on 16th St. and is 90,000 square feet which features amenities from a new gym, weight rooms, indoor playground, childcare facilities and even a virtual golf simulator.
Hastings Family YMCA detailed their new features:
Extended Workout Hours: Extended workout hours accessible through our extended hours entrance.
New Child Watch: A brand-new Child Watch with a mini jungle gym and a larger space for all the kids! This is free to our members and available for you to utilize for up to 2 hours per day, for kids 6 weeks – 7 years old.
Workout Spaces: Brand new classrooms, weight room, cardio room, equipment, lockers, and more! Ask our front desk to help you schedule an equipment orientation for free with our Wellness Department.
Family Fun Center: Our adventure challenge has always been a highlight for kids in our facility, which is why we’re excited to have a brand-new jungle gym in our family fun center for kids.
Aquatics Center: Our brand-new Aquatics Center with locker rooms, sauna, steam room, and hot tub will be ready to enjoy.
Golf Simulator: Test out our new golf simulator and book a time slot with our Welcome Center.
Walking Track: The new YMCA will feature an amazing new walking track overlooking the basketball courts. This track is open to our community to use for free. Visit our Welcome Center to gain access to this feature.
Courts: Basketball, volleyball, and pickleball will be available in the new gym.
Lobby: We’re excited to have a new social area for members to sit and enjoy coffee and each other’s company.
During the opening week, the facility will open at 8 a.m., and 12 p.m. on Sunday, June 23. Starting on Monday, June 24, the doors will open at 5 a.m. as normal.
