At the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City, we strengthen communities by creating spaces where families, youth, and individuals of all ages can grow, connect, and thrive. This spring, the Y celebrated two major milestones with the groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Tom and Judy Love North Side YMCA and the new Stillwater YMCA.
Both projects reflect the YMCA’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to wellness resources, youth development programs, child care, and community services across central and western Oklahoma. Community members, partners, volunteers, and local leaders gathered at each ceremony to celebrate the future impact these facilities will have for generations to come.
The new Tom and Judy Love North Side YMCA will continue to serve one of Oklahoma City’s most diverse areas while expanding opportunities for health and wellness, early childhood education, youth programming, and community collaboration. The facility will include a fitness center, indoor walking track, group exercise studios, community gathering spaces, and a 130-seat early childhood center focused on accessible, high-quality child care.
In Stillwater, the new 56,000-square-foot YMCA facility will expand programming opportunities through a state-of-the-art Aquatics Center, wellness spaces, youth sports facilities, and enhanced child care services. The project represents a collaborative effort between the YMCA and community partners including Stillwater Public Schools, Oklahoma State University, and the City of Stillwater.
“These projects represent so much more than new buildings,” said Kelly Kay, President & CEO of the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City. “They reflect what is possible when communities come together with a shared vision to create spaces that support health, connection, youth development, and opportunity for generations to come.”
Both groundbreaking celebrations highlighted the power of community collaboration and the YMCA’s mission to meet the growing needs of families across Oklahoma. Through projects like these, the Y continues investing in spaces that strengthen spirit, mind, and body while creating lasting impact for future generations.
