Come the end of September, the YMCA facility in Woodstock will be closing the doors to the Health and Fitness areas.
WOODSTOCK - The YMCA of Southwestern Ontario is closing a location.
After deep consideration and extensive analysis, the Health and Fitness branch in Woodstock will close its doors as of September 30th this year. For the past year, the YMCA has extensively reviewed the future of the health and fitness operations in Woodstock. Several community partners were engaged in hopes of finding a viable shared solution for this location, and while encouraged by the level of interest, no formal commitments were made. Other areas that caused concern for the organization include several years of financial challenges at the branch due to declining memberships, increased maintenance costs, and capital demands on an aging 64-year-old facility.
There is some good news as the child care space will still operate at the facility. Child care services will continue, uninterrupted, as there will be a transition to the new Turtle Island Child Care Centre, located nearby at 717 Knights Lane. Child care will remain at the YMCA branch until Turtle Island opens in March 2026 to minimize any possible disruption.
The Y is committed to being a strong and viable organization for the long-term so we can continue to best serve the communities that rely on them, including Woodstock.
