From the Y of Fond du La, "about us"

The first renovation was completed in 1913 with the addition of a swimming pool, but the YMCA eventually outgrew this location and began construction on a new facility in 1963.

In 1964, the new YMCA opened its doors at 90 W. Second Street. Major additions and renovations took place throughout the years, with the addition of tennis courts and an indoor track in 1979. And in 1994, the second major renovation added a youth gym, aerobics room, men’s and women’s fitness centers, a special needs/family locker room and a whirlpool area. The child care center and lobby were also remodeled and the main entrance was moved to the west end of the building.

Our most exciting renovation yet started with just a dream in 2006, and through a collaborative effort between the Fond du Lac Family YMCA and the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac, the vision of serving children and families in one location became reality. Construction of a new state-of-the-art community center in downtown Fond du Lac began in May of 2009.

The central focus of this project is to provide a combined facility with more space for fitness, education and community services that will benefit the entire community. But the project is much more than just a new building. It is a community center where families, children and individuals will have the opportunity to gather and participate in safe, healthy activities. It is a center the Fond du Lac community will be proud to call their own.
