Starting in June 2010, the YMCA's name was shortened to its common nickname the Y.  The Malden Y is located in the old armory building which was refurbished back in 2006 to make way for the brand new Y. If you are looking for community involvement, the Y is all about that. They have Family Fun Night every third Friday of each month, and they have camps over the summer for the kids. 

Need to work out? The Y's equipment is all brand new, and they have separate cardio and weight rooms. They have a Kid Zone for parents who want to exercise and bring their kids along. For $3 an hour, your child can stay and play in the Kid Zone while you work out.

They also have a pool for you to swim laps. Perhaps you'd like to take an aqua aerobics class, too. All classes are open to the public for a small fee and are completely free to all members. You can even rent out one of the pool areas or one of the rooms for birthday parties or children's events.
