June 9, 2025

PARK FALLS – Gov. Tony Evers recently celebrated the grand opening of the new Flambeau River YMCA in Park Falls, which was funded in part by a $5.6 million grant through investments the governor directed to support the Neighborhood Investment Fund (NIF) grant program. 

A branch of the YMCA of the Northwoods, the Flambeau YMCA will provide area residents access to a 40-capacity childcare center, senior center, youth sports programming and a 24/7 fitness center.

“From health care to child care and transportation so folks can get to work, my administration is committed to expanding access to vital resources to make sure the folks and families in every corner of our state have the tools they need to thrive and be well, including right here in Park Falls,” Evers said. “I’m incredibly proud of my administration’s efforts that have helped support kids and families in Park Falls.”
