This establishment is located just across the street from the Powhatan Public Library and is mere minutes from Old Buckingham Road and Anderson Highway, which makes it accessible from all over the region.

The Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA boasts a modern facility that offers year-round entertainment. The facility’s outdoor pool features a gradient that ranges from 1 1/2 feet to 4 ½ feet, as well as a water slide. Seating surrounds the pool, and during the cooler months of the year – September through April – the pool is covered by a unique bubble dome and is heated to continue the fun year-round. Various other sporting fields can also be found outside the building.

Moving inside, the Powhatan YMCA offers an array of exercise equipment, machinery and free weights in the gym. The large wellness center offers consultations to help members achieve their fitness goals. Further, there is a large exercise studio within the building, in which a variety of exercise classes are hosted. Bring the kids along while you work out; the YMCA offers a Child Watch program – aka free babysitting – for members while they are in the facility.

If the kids wish to start their own journey at the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA, the facility hosts a variety of classes and programs just for them.
