SOUTH WAIKATO YMCA

Welcome to the YMCA South Waikato the Heart of New Zealand
A quick oversight of our YMCA:

• We have been operating in Tokoroa since 1963

• Our first premises were in Papanui Street

• The stadium burnt down on October 1973

• For the next 10 years we operated from the buildings where the old Countdown was and the Army Hall in Bridge Street.

• Our new stadium was opened in 1983 and we are still operating from Princess Beatrix Ave site.

• In April 2011 we moved our administration to 25 Bridge Street and now operating from 46-48 Bridge Street, Upstairs.
