The YMCA believes that everyone in the Bass Coast Community can benefit from regular participation at the Bass Coast Leisure Facilities.

With facilities located in Wonthaggi and Cowes the Bass Coast Leisure Facilities offer premier health and recreational opportunities for the Bass Coast community. While the facilities speak for themselves, it is our commitment to provide quality programs and services that makes the Bass Coast Leisure Facilities even more special.

There are a range of opportunities for those looking to gain fitness, participate in team sports, socialise and enjoy many aspects of this first class community recreational facility.

Open Doors campaign  

Improved community health and happiness is the aim of the 2010 YMCA Open Doors campaign at the Phillip Island Leisure Centre and the Wonthaggi Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

Too many families and individuals doing it tough are missing out on the opportunity to take part in healthy activities that connect them with others.

Bass Coast YMCA is taking proactive action to do something about that.
