Branch Information
Built in 1994, the Western Area Family Branch is a vital part of the Birmingham and Midfield communities, providing superb indoor and outdoor facilities for members of all ages. We also feature a licensed pre-school.
School age kids get into the action with youth sports, day camp activities and after-school programs. The YMCA philosophy of "everyone plays, everyone wins" gives each child a chance to be the star.
Adults can take advantage of our state-of-the-art health and fitness center, as well as an aerobics program offering dozens of classes each week, all free to YMCA members. Our drop-in nursery (free to YMCA Family members during visits) makes it easier to schedule fitness into your day.
