Preschool/Youth Gymnastics, Tumbling and Dance

The YMCA's Gymnastics, Tumbling and Dance Center, located on the west side of the YMCAs Dudley Street parking lot, is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art equipment. It features a "Tumbl Trak," a 30 foot long trampoline designed for fun and effective tumbling instruction. In addition, the Center boasts a 40 x 40 foot foam block floor, 60-foot rod floor, uneven bars, a vault, two balance beams, parallel bars, rings, and a climbing rope.
