Peyton Family YMCA

The Peyton Family YMCA at Durbin Park is the centerpiece of a 40-acre, $150 million health complex which will include a hospital and other medical services. An in-depth market analysis within a five-mile radius of the planned complex demonstrated this is a great place for a new YMCA location and together, we can build better health in a growing community.

By investing in our youth and developing the potential of children and teens, giving our active older adult community a place to belong, and providing everyone with the opportunity and resources to live healthier, more fulfilling lives, we will not only better meet the needs of our community, but also establish ourselves as a total wellness resource in an ever-evolving health and fitness landscape.

In short, we want to be stronger FOR ALL.
