Partnership

In a unique partnership, the YMCA and San Antonio Public Library constructed a new facility in an existing building owned by the YMCA at Potranco and Highway 151. The 40,000-square-foot YMCA includes a state-of-the-art wellness center as well as significant space to engage families, including a gymnasium, preschool, and youth programming studios, a healthy teaching kitchen, and family locker rooms. The 5,000-square-foot Library includes book collections, computers, and self-service offerings.

San Antonio Public Library believes that more can be accomplished when partners work together toward a common goal. This project offers library services in an innovative approach and increases access to services to the entire community.

The YMCA is committed to strengthening the foundations of the community and this project is an exciting collaboration that will enhance the lives of kids and families living in and around District 6 for generations to come. This premier facility will quickly become a hub of healthy activity through a robust menu of health education, youth sports, fitness classes, preschool and family programs, and lots of wellness programs for our seniors.
