The Stowe Family YMCA in Belmont last week broke ground on a project that will expand its facility by over 15,000 square feet and renovate 37,000 square feet of the existing facility.
What to expect: The project will include an expanded lobby, a new multi-purpose gymnasium and a new family wing that will house play areas and classroom spaces, according to a statement from the Gaston County Family YMCA.
Outside, the facility will get a new water park (featuring a 25-yard swimming pool, splash zone and water slides) and a new multi-sport court for basketball, soccer and group exercise classes.
