Villages at Carver Family YMCA

Översikt

A part of the nation’s 6th largest and one of the fastest growing YMCA associations, The Villages at Carver Family YMCA is the 23rd addition to the Metro Atlanta YMCA and one of only a few LEED buildings in the association. Located on Pryor Road, in the heart of an underserved, low-income community, The Villages at Carver YMCA is a collaborative effort between the Metro Atlanta Association and the historic Butler Street Association, which have existed independently and exclusively of one another…until now! Heretofore, the Butler Street YMCA was the association that served the African-American community in Atlanta during segregation. Butler Street remained a driving force in the African-American community even after integration, so when the idea came about to build a new YMCA in an area that was traditionally served by Butler Street, it was decided that a partnership between the two associations would be the best way to effectively serve the community.
The Villages at Carver YMCA is a 55,000 square-feet full-facility that includes a full court basketball gymnasium with a suspended track, family aquatics center, complete with a whirlpool and steam room, multi-purpose rooms, cardiovascular center, and childcare while you work out! The YMCA, however, is not just a “swim and gym.” Offering a wide spectrum of programming ranging from swim lessons to audio/visual production to sewing, the YMCA develops the mind, body and spirit.
