Putnam County YMCA opened in March 2025. The facility was built in partnership with the YMCA of the Wabash Valley and the Putnam County Hospital. This project fulfills a multi-decade dream of the community.
Located on the east side of Greencastle on South Calbert Way, the site provides easy access for residents of Greencastle and the entire county.
The Y will feature 59,725 square feet of recreation space, including three basketball/sports courts, three exercise studios, a walking track, a fitness area filled with a wide range of exercise equipment, a child watch area, a teen room, and ample support space such as office space, restrooms, family locker rooms, and storage. The gym spaces are set up to accommodate basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and futsal.
The Putnam County Hospital space of 11,270 square feet will allow for a wide range of medical offerings for the community.
A large community room and teaching kitchen will allow both the Y and the hospital to offer a wide range of educational programs. Community groups will also have access to the space to offer programs.
The 14 acre site allows for plenty of parking and outdoor recreation area.
The Y will serve families from across Putnam County with over 50,000 visits expected each year. Services will be offered for a wide range of age groups from children to seniors.
