Justin's Place


Ages: 2 - 14
Justin’s Place is a new, fun and exciting children’s entertainment experience at the NorthWest Family YMCA. Justin’s Place includes a huge indoor playground, video gaming area, ping pong table, parent lounge area and reading sections- something for children of all ages. Children must be accompanied by a parent to enjoy Justin’s Place, unless “Hang Out Hut” is being offered. Justin Pepper was born on December 1, 1995 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. At the age of 2 his parents moved to Chapin, South Carolina. Justin was received in heaven on August 14th, 2007, as a result of a tragic motor vehicle accident. The YMCA of Columbia is proud to honor Justin’s memory with a great place for children of all ages to gather and play. Through “Play at Justin’s Place,” children will develop self-esteem, coordination and social skills to grow in spirit, mind and body.
