Tuesdays 6:00-8:30pm

The Outdoor Courts at the Y, with a full-size basketball court, will open as soon as the weather allows in the spring and remain open in the fall as long as possible. The outdoor basketball court is open to the entire community; no Y membership is required.

 

Lap Swim 
Our 5-lane, 25-yard pool is available for lap swim throughout the week.
Morning, afternoon, evenings and weekends vary; please check pool schedule.

 

Pickleball 
A paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.
Pickleball combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It can be played indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. Pickleball may be played as doubles or singles.
Pickleball is played in the Y’s gymnasium during winter months. Pickleball paddles and plastic balls are available for checkout at the Y’s membership desk.  
 
The Outdoor Courts at the Y, with ten pickleball courts, open in the spring as soon as weather allows and will remain open through the fall as long as possible. A schedule for the Outdoor Courts will be posted upon opening; the courts are available to the entire community and no Y membership is required.
