Recreation - Be Active. Stay Connected.

Be Active.
Stay Connected.

At the Y, we believe being active is not merely about fitness, it’s about people, moving, together. When energy combines. When efforts are enhanced.

Across Australia, we welcome over 5.5 million sports and recreation participations per year, managing 24 recreation facilities (stadiums/community centres), and 86 Health and Fitness Centres (39 dry and 47 multi/aquatic centres). The Y also provides over 780,000 Gymnastics participations a year, and we run 13 camps with over 129,000 campers each year.
