FACILITY/PROPERTY UPDATE – 10/14/26
We are excited to announce that our new walking trail and football/soccer fields are now complete!
The beautiful new walking trail is officially open to the public and features a 0.63-mile loop. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a peaceful walk, get some exercise, or spend time outdoors with family and friends, we invite you to come experience this exciting addition to our YMCA.
Grass seed has been planted on the new athletic fields, and we look forward to giving the grass time to establish and grow. Our goal is to begin hosting athletic competitions on the fields this spring, creating new opportunities for local athletes and families to enjoy these facilities.
The completion of these projects represents another important step in our commitment to providing opportunities for our community to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy the outdoors.
None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our incredible community. As a nonprofit organization, we have raised nearly $3 million through the generosity of individuals, businesses, and grant funding. This YMCA was built by our community, for our community, and we could not be more proud of what we have accomplished together.
To finance the $4.8 million construction of this facility, we secured a $2 million loan. Thanks to the continued support of our members, donors, and community partners, we have already repaid $1.2 million of that balance.
As we continue to enhance our facility and expand opportunities for youth, families, and individuals throughout our community, our goal is to fully retire the remaining loan. If you would like to support the YMCA through a donation, please contact Kip Batye at kbatye@jcymca.org or call (573) 657-9622 ext. 707.
Thank you for investing in the future of our YMCA and helping us build a stronger, healthier community for generations to come.
