C.W. Avery Family YMCA History

1995

The Plainfield Area YMCA begins serving students in the Plainfield community through its before and after school program, which is held at four area elementary schools.

2002

As a result of a generous naming gift in January, the YMCA is renamed the C.W. Avery Family YMCA in honor of the late Clyde Avery, his wife Judy and their family.

Later that year, the Y acquires 11.5 acres of property through a land-swap with the Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 to be the future sit of the C.W. Avery Family YMCA.

2006

On February 4, the state-of-the-art and award winning building officially opens its doors to the Plainfield community.

2008

The Cliff and Lois Berglund Family Aquatic Center opens after a successful capital campaign and a generous gift by Cliff and Los Berglund.

2013

To better accommodate the community’s fitness needs, the Y expands its Wellness Center, adding more space, new equipment and a redesigned aesthetic.
