LINWOOD YMCA/JAMES B. NUTTER, SR. COMMUNITY CENTER

The newly renovated and expanded Linwood YMCA/James B. Nutter Sr. Community Center opened its doors on February 20, 2017. The new center features: 

• An indoor pool to provide life-saving swim lessons and recreational opportunities year round.
• An expanded health and wellness center in which people can improve their health with new cardiovascular exercise and strength training equipment.
• A community room for all ages to connect through shared interests at meetings, faith-based group gatherings, celebrations of family and friends, and more.
• A teaching kitchen for healthy eating, nutrition and cooking classes.
• A renovated gym in which the community can gather for special events and healthy living activities such as youth and adult sports.
• Multi-purpose studios for group exercise, dance, music, arts, and other social and educational activities.
• A Kids Zone enrichment center to provide a safe and fun place for kids to learn and play.

The Teen Tech Center is a fun, interactive learning space where youth in grades 5-12 can develop workforce skills and college readiness through hands-on activities to explore their interests in programming, coding, e-sports and gaming proficiency, music production and design. 

The Teen Tech Center was made possible thanks to donations from Nebraska Furniture Mart, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Credit Union and the Linwood YMCA Community Mission Board. 

The interactive space and the equipment is free for young people to use, and a YMCA membership is not required. No previous experience is needed prior to visiting and using the equipment.

Summer Hours: Open to all ages of students from noon-6 p.m. Students in grades 4th and under may use the Teen Tech Center accompanied by an adult in the summer.
