History

Plainfield's Very Own YMCA

In fall 1995, the Plainfield Area YMCA first began serving students in the Plainfield community through its before and after school program, which was held at four area elementary schools.
As a result of a generous naming gift in January 2002, the YMCA was renamed the C.W. Avery Family YMCA in honor of the late Clyde Avery, his wife Judy and their family.
In December 2002, the YMCA acquired 11.5 acres of property through a land-swap with Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 to be the future site of the C.W. Avery Family YMCA. The state-of-the-art and award-winning building opened its doors to the Plainfield community in 2006.
The Cliff and Lois Berglund Family Aquatic Center opened in November 2008 after a successful capital campaign and a generous naming gift by the late Cliff and Lois Berglund.
To better accommodate the fitness needs of its growing membership base, the Y expanded its Wellness Center in 2013, adding more space, new equipment and a redesigned aesthetic.
The Y once again expanded its Wellness Center in 2018, adding more space, new equipment and a brighter, bolder design.
