YMCA of Wayne Co. to offer 24/7 access in the fall
The YMCA of Wayne County parade float for 2024 announced the change coming this fall to allow access to its Wooster and Orrville facilities 24/7.
This fall the YMCA of Wayne County will allow access to certain facilities 24/7.
The Orrville branch will give 24/7 access to its bathrooms, lobby area and fitness center while the Wooster branch will give access to all those things, plus its gymnasium and racquetball courts.
Nikki Fehrenbach, CEO of the YMCA of Wayne County, and her staff are preparing for the upgrade.
“I have been wanting to take our facilities 24/7 for a long time now, and the opportunity finally presented itself,” Fehrenbach said. “Our leadership team has been working on this since the beginning of the year, and we are very excited to be able to offer this access to the community.”
Members of the YMCA will be granted access after signing the 24/7 access agreement and paying a small additional fee each month. Nonmembers will have the ability to join as well, or they can simply purchase access for after hours only. You must be 18 or older to participate at the Y after hours.
“We take the safety of our participants extremely seriously and want to provide a safe environment for them to exercise and let off steam,” Fehrenbach said.
A date for this change has not yet been released, but people can follow the YMCA Facebook and Instagram pages for the fastest updates @YMCAofWayneCounty.

The Wooster branch is located at 680 Woodland Ave. while the Orrville branch is at 1801 Smucker Road.
