Originally built to accommodate a membership of 500, the Central Branch, our historical Harrisburg Y on Front Street, was in 1929 handling a number three times greater. The Executive Board determined it was time to build a new facility. The campaign for the new building began at about the same time as the Great Depression.
The current East Shore Y facility was completed in 1933. The original structure was designed in the Italian Romanesque style, which provided the template for many YMCA buildings from the late 19th century through the mid-1930s. Traditional association thinking at the time was that a YMCA facility’s appearance should convey the organization’s intended image and mission. The YMCA of Harrisburg Central Branch building represents the end of an era in that it was one of the last grand YMCA structures of its type to be built.
Tokens are required to exit the East Shore YMCA parking lot. Regular members may purchase these tokens for $1 per token at the Welcome Desk. OSP members will receive a token when they enter the facility, included with their membership. Seniors over the age of 60 will receive free parking tokens! For additional questions about parking and tokens, please contact the East Shore YMCA Welcome Center at (717) 232-9622.

East Shore Branch YMCA: Opinions
Positive experience: I think it's too expensive to be a non for profit organization! Just call it like it is, a company. Other than that, the place is ok.
Fantastic experience: Over the past couple months I’ve been having trouble setting up my YMCA membership through my insurance in the beginning of the month an employee named Christy.She helped me and made me feel secure that she would try to figure the problem out and I really appreciate it. And she had a great attitude. She didn’t make me feel, rushed, or like my problem wasn’t important
Fantastic experience: Everything is clean and sanitized throughout the day. The gym is very spacious with no judgement and no negativity. There is always a housekeeping and maintenance crew around. Customer service staffing has gotten significantly much better! I’m here almost everyday love this Y!
Fantastic experience: Swim coach Ms. Charisse and her team is the best. Their way of assessing and personalized lessons is very appreciative. Thanks for everything you do.
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous views in the wellness center. Staff are helpful.
Positive experience: Great for KIDS in the City
Positive experience: Love the environment and the safety of the place to workout given 3 cause the gym ain't fully open once they're open the whole place will be better like sauna steaming room jacuzzi they're all off limits for now but it will be better when is fully open
Fantastic experience: ❤️
Fantastic experience: Nice and clean
Fantastic experience: Interesting building. Typical friendly and diverse YMCA patrons. They eventually forgave a billing issue resulting from a change of address. We're friends again ;)
Fantastic experience: YMCA updated equipment in a big way! They have more treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and rowing machines than I have ever seen in one place. This is a lovely place. I thought I would just join for the racquetball courts!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, sauna and steam room in the basic membership locker room!
Positive experience: Great full circle...kids, damily, solo, swim, basketball, gym....just needs more parking.
Fantastic experience: Very nice/friendly. Much much better than west shore....any time..
Fantastic experience: Facilities are a great mix of historic and modern. The building has a ton of character. You will get lost your first few times through. How many locker rooms do you know that cover three floors? The staff and members are very friendly and welcoming (and good with directions).
