What makes West Boylston Unique?

West Boylston is always a welcoming place to live. Whenever you go out it takes you twice as long as you thought it would because you have to stop and talk to everyone that you see. This is what I love about West Boylston, the sense of a close knit community. You walk around town and know almost everyone that passes by. You can go and do local activities and know people there. So everywhere you go you feel that sense of community and family.

This is the Greendale YMCA located in Worcester. To me the Greendale YMCA definitely represents community. Whenever you walk in you see a smiling face waiting to scan your card at the welcome desk. After you have been going there for a while, you know the regulars and who will be working that day. There is always a new group exercise class that you want to try or a new youth class that you want to sign your children up for. The Greendale YMCA is a great place to bring your family because there is always something to do for everyone of all ages.

This is the all famous YMCA Symbol that stands outside the entrance. Also it is found around various places of the YMCA.
