Danvers YMCA
Pickering Street, Danvers MA
The Y’s history in Danvers dates back to the 1940’s when some business leaders met and decided to establish a YMCA to offer youth activities. Starting in a barn the Y quickly became a place for families to look for recreation. In the 1950’s the Y purchased the Stiles Pond Day Camp property in Boxford to offer an outdoor summer camp program. In the Early 60’s the Pool was built on Pickering Street, followed by the Program Center and Howard Lee Auditorium in the late 60’s. Late in the 70’s a Cardio and Strength Training Center, Racquetball Courts and Adult Locker Areas were added leading to an expansion of a weight training facility, offices and waiting areas for parents. In 2003 the Roy Anderson Gymnasium opened including renovations to the grounds and inside of the Y.
