About the Project:
TCU managed the fast-tracked design of the new 20,000 SF James W. Wilson, Jr. YMCA and the construction program with a budget of $4 million dollars. Construction began in November 2008 and the Grand Opening was held October 12, 2009 with the First Official Shots and Presentation of Team YMCA Basketballs.
The project would not have been possible without the visionary leadership of the Wilson Family. From the beginning, Big Jim Wilson, wanted to make sure that families in high growth areas had a neighborhood YMCA. This unique YMCA was designed and built in cooperation with the new James W. Wilson, Jr. Elementary School with the help of key YMCA volunteer, Ken Upchurch. The close ties between the school and the YMCA provide an incredible nurturing atmosphere for students and a place where families grow together on the 15 acre site in New Park, a Jim Wilson & Associates, LLC development, off of Ray Thorington Road.
