Connecting Muncie Neighborhood partners and resources
Muncie community-neighborhood events
The City of Muncie is creating the 2026-2029 5-Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan to determine which recreational facilities and programs are needed in the future. We are seeking input from your household to help us determine those needs. Please participate in this survey!
“We are excited about the opening of our new YMCA facility on the campus of Muncie Central High School. This partnership marks a significant step in our mission to support and uplift the community through health, wellness, and education.
Creating Opportunities for All:
Our new facility is more than just a building; it’s a hub for positive change. By providing access to state-of-the-art fitness equipment, diverse exercise classes, and recreational activities, we are empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
Empowering Students:
Integrating the YMCA within Muncie Central High School creates unique opportunities for students. Our programs promote physical wellness, leadership development, workforce development opportunities and academic support, helping students thrive both in and out of the classroom. After-school programs and sports leagues offer safe, engaging environments where young people can build confidence and lifelong skills.
Strengthening Families:
We believe that strong families are the foundation of a strong community. The YMCA offers family-friendly activities and resources that encourage families to spend quality time together. From swim lessons to family fitness classes, we are dedicated to supporting family bonds and fostering healthy habits from a young age.
Enhancing Community Health:
With a focus on holistic wellness, our new facility will provide resources for mental and physical health through our partnership with Open Door Health Services, IU Health and Ball State Healthy Lifestyle Center. Access to group exercise classes like yoga, along with wellness workshops, will ensure that community members have the tools they need to maintain balanced, healthy lifestyles.
Building Community Connections:
The YMCA has always been about community, and our new facility will serve as a gathering place where friendships are formed and support networks are built. We offer spaces for community events, volunteer opportunities, and programs that bring people together to work towards common goals.
Thank you for being a valued member of our YMCA community. Together, we are making Muncie a healthier, stronger, and more connected place to live.

Building Better Neighborhoods (BBN) was established as a program of Ball State University in 2014. Over the last ten years BBN has helped neighborhood associations meet development goals that fall within the “Spectrum of Development”. These include things like registering at the Indiana Secretary of State as a non-profit and acquiring a bank account in the name of the association. BBN has also assisted in setting up social media accounts and providing sample Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. Every neighborhood is different, and their needs are unique. BBN strives to meet every neighborhood where they are in their development journey and provide the assistance required to get them where they want to be to best meet the needs of their residents.
