Ymca Preschool

There's no walking track for indoor walking. Classroom facilities are small and dark. This YMCA needs to be updated with modern amenities like other cities YMCA around stevens point.

Great staff! Excellent place to play basketball and work out! The facilities always look great! Thanks for having this YMCA in our community!

The child care here is wonderful, and a huge upgrade from another facility in town with Small Students. I can tell the staff at the Y (especially SVAY) really care about my child and doing a good job. They are always doing activities and he always has stories to share about his day. My only complaint is that I can’t get in the building! I have had to wait for other parents and staff members to let me in twice a day, every day for the entire summer. We have received probably a dozen key cards from the front desk, but they always stop working after a day. Emails and calls to resolve the issue went unanswered. It kind of sucks getting dirty looks from other parents when they hold open the door (or just pretend I am not there) because I can’t unlock the door to drop off/retrieve my child. It’s become a joke in the family that we’re “going to go break into daycare”.

Subject: Request for Facility Improvements at Our YMCA Dear YMCA Manager/Team, I hope this message finds you well. As a long-time member and supporter of the YMCA, I want to take a moment to share some honest feedback about the current state of our facility. While I deeply value the community and resources the YMCA provides, there are areas that are clearly overdue for serious attention and improvement. The gym equipment is modern and well-maintained, which is appreciated. However, the basketball court and locker rooms are visibly outdated and no longer meet the standards expected from a facility of this caliber. The basketball court, in particular, is in rough shape. It looks and feels like it hasn't been renovated in decades. The surface is hard on the joints, lacking the shock absorption and flexibility found in modern gym floors. Research has shown that outdated flooring can contribute to joint stress and overuse injuries—especially in the knees and ankles. Playing on this court simply doesn’t feel safe or supportive. Similarly, the locker rooms are far below standard. It's not just a matter of cleanliness—they are outdated to the point where a full renovation is necessary. The layout, fixtures, and general atmosphere all feel worn down. There’s also a noticeable lack of hygiene guidelines or enforcement (e.g., shower shoes, no outdoor footwear in the sauna, proper towel use), which only adds to the issue. At this point, a complete overhaul is the only realistic solution. Considering the high number of members and the consistent revenue from memberships, the current state of these facilities does not reflect the quality the YMCA is known for. Investing in these much-needed renovations would not only improve safety and cleanliness but also elevate the member experience and community pride. Thank you for your time and for considering this feedback. I genuinely believe this YMCA has incredible potential, and with some strategic improvements, it can become one of the best in the region. Sincerely, Stevens Point YMCA member

Words cannot express how great this Y is. So many classes, plus childcare, swimming, fitness, basketball, and much more. It's incredible how embedded this Y is with the community and all that it has to offer.
