The track is setup around a really nice football field and the officials were very professional for the event. The school grounds were kept up nicely and the track was well established.

I would definitely look forward to coming back to this location for another track meet.

Pretty good YMCA. The staff are mostly friendly, I've only ran into one real jerk. They offer great…read moreclasses and the wellness center is up to date. They have multiple gyms and courts. The RecPlex is located across town, which is inconvenient. You can't take back to back classes at the Y and RecPlex because they are a 15 min drive apart. They do not offer towel service, which compared to other Y's I've been a member of, surprises me. In fact, they charge $2 to use one of their towels. With a family membership being around $900 a year, they could help out with towels. But this is a small price to pay for the other things they do offer.

We have been members of the Fox YMCA for over eight years. We have paid our membership every year,…read morebut have had two,or three year spells where we merely paid for the luxury of simply having the membership. I believe most YMCA's along with other excercise facilities make a large portion of their earnings selling memberships that are rarely used. Our experience at Fox YMCA have been okay for the most part. Front desk staff are challenged to provide accurate information concerning LYST Swim Team information. Communication between the two is lacking at times. Communication between Parent Board about its policies and procedures is lacking as well. The Fox YMCA is privately owned, they do not accept other YMCA membership cards and the Fox YMCA membership is not accepted at other YMCA locations. I recently terminated my membership because I feel the LYST swim team Parent Board has forgotten has forgotten the four core values the YMCA is supposed to employ in everyday practices. The Fox YMCA either cannot or won't require the LYST Parent Board and LYST Swim Team to ensure their policies and practices include Honesty, Dignity, Caring, and Respect. The LYST Parent Board apparently fails to remember that there are families with different incomes, structures, employment requirements, multiple children playing multiple sports or other extra curricular activities that require parent attendance. $150 dollars in fines for not volunteering was stiff during the Summer 2018 swim season. The 2018-19 swim season brought about an increase in fines to families who do not volunteer. The per credit fine for regular 3 credit season requirement increased to $75 per unfulfilled credit. The 2018-19 season requires parents/guardians to agree to these increased fines in addition to agreeing volunteer an additional two volunteer credits for two LYST hosted invitationals, one in November and one in March. Failure to volunteer for either of these events will result in a fine of $125 for each event. Families that do not volunteer any of the five required volunteer credits will be fined a total of $475. I realize volunteers reduce costs and enable organizations to save money, but there is no other sports organization anywhere in this area that charges such hefty fines with no regard towards the families they are automatically charging these fees. It is equally disappointing that a YMCA allows such practices to take place regardless if they are a privately owned YMCA.

I love painting and a few years ago I found this place right in downtown Lancaster, OH. I love it,…read moreyou get to paint your own painting with a professional that walks you through all the steps so you can make your own masterpiece. Everyone I've ever met at this company has been so sweet and helpful. They really want everyone to have a good time and enjoy painting. They also provide everything you'll need to paint like the canvas, paint, apron and etc. Half way through the painting you get a break we're they provide a snack table with cheeses, fruits and wine for adults. This is a fun activity to do with friends and family. When I went with my friends & family we just joined an open class but you can actually schedule private sessions too for things like bridal parties, get togethers with friends or with a group of couples. If you have never tried this before I highly recommend it.

Our class was comprised of several families and groups of friends and co-workers taking this class. An instructor shows painters what brush and paint to use one step at a time. Brushes to be used and paint colors are predetermined for the paintings chosen by the instructor. They show how to draw and paint parts of the painting one step at a time. The younger of the two instructors is a bit slower and easier to talk to and understand when she speaks with her back turned to the class. Lots of fun for friends and family, can be pricey for large groups. $120 for a family of four.
