About the Venue

Meadville YMCA Play Space is a recurring family play program inside the YMCA's gymnastics center rather than a full-time commercial playground. Children use the gymnastics facility for active open-gym style play, and families register for scheduled sessions in advance. It is especially appealing for budget-minded families who want indoor movement space more than themed play.
