New $1.2 million Centre Opening October 2010

October 2010 will see the opening of the new Acacia Ridge YMCA Gymnastics centre. The $1.2 million centre will be the new home of the Y-South Gymnastics club which has been in operation in the Acacia Ridge Community since 1979. The club which caters for 230+ gymnasts per week will be able to meet the needs of its expanding membership base which is currently limited by space restrictions. The new state of the art facility will be 650 square metres in size and house a full sized competitive sprung floor and a training pit. The YMCA is excited to be able to bring this fantastic facility and service to the local and surrounding community. To be part of our expansion, please call Helen on 3277 7822.

Y-South receives funds for a full sized competitive sprung floor

Y-South Gymnastics Club set to receive a Full Sized Sprung Floor

Thanks to the Queensland Governments Gambling Community Benefit Fund,   Y-South will be relocating to its new facility in October with a new, full sized competitive sprung floor valued at $30 945.

The sprung floor will meet the needs of the clubs expanding membership base as well as position the club in a strong position when it relocates to its new premises at the Acacia Ridge Leisure centre in October 2010. This relocation forms part of the Masterplan for CA O’Sullivan Park in Acacia Ridge and is a partnership with the Queensland Governments Department of Communities – Community Renewal that was formed in 2006 as a means to creating a community Hub in the Acacia Ridge area which was identified as a clear priority in the Master plan.

A full sized sprung floor will enable the club to train gymnasts on a competition size floor and therefore increase the ability to train more gymnasts at one time and to a higher standard.  The upgraded flooring will also ensure maximal safety for all gymnasts and users of the floor.

We would like to thank the Gambling Community Benefit Fund for their continued support of our YMCA
