Western Area YMCA

The YMCA Western Area Family Branch, commonly the Western Area YMCA, was a recreational center at 1195 Bessemer Road in Birmingham's Green Acres neighborhood, which was operated by the YMCA of Greater Birmingham.

The 21,910-square-foot building was constructed on a 17-acre parcel near the intersection with Meadow Lane and the city limits of Midfield. The YMCA also owned a 1.2-acre vacant adjoining parcel.

The center closed in 2015. The YMCA donated the two parcels to the Cahaba Medical Care Foundation in 2023.
