YMCA of Bucks County is celebrating the change of season with free Spring Fling weekend events for families across the county. The weekend is designed to celebrate the grand opening of the Y’s Doylestown branch expansion, the recent addition of a pool to the Warminster branch, Healthy Kids Day in Fairless Hills, and the kickoff of summer camp season.
Held primarily outdoors, the family events are free and open to the community, each with different offerings and activities, including inflatables, food trucks, games, music, group exercise sample classes, facilities tours and more.
At the Doylestown branch, the Friday evening event will include tours of the 22,000-square-foot expansion, including the wellness center, universal locker rooms, and spin and program studios. The new spaces include high ceilings, new HVAC and new UV-C air sanitizing units.
While all events are free, advanced registration is requested at ymcabucks.org/springfling to ensure that outdoor and indoor safety protocols are met. Events include:
