CELEBRATE WITH 50% OFF JOINING FEES!

The Lakewood YMCA is now open! We want everyone to be a part of the celebration. That's why we're offering you 50% off our joining fees for a limited time!

Durham YMCA membership grants you access to our facilities, gives you member prices, and provides priority registration for Y programs. It also helps you build a positive, healthy lifestyle.

Durham YMCA members have access to the Downtown Durham YMCA, the Lakewood YMCA and the YMCA Wellness Center at the American Tobacco Historic District.

A Triangle YMCA membership provides access to all YMCA of the Triangle facilities and programs.
