Best of Philly

2011 Community Center

Ambler YMCA

This months-old Y out-glosses the Sporting Club and out-funs a water park: $24 million paid for an 11,000-square-foot fitness center, a mega gymnasium, three indoor pools and two water slides, plus awesome classes and child care. (A mere $93 buys a one-month family membership.)
