YMCA Expansion / Renovation Update
|
Beginning on Monday, June 19
th
our contractors will begin work on the front portion of our building. This means that we will be unable to use our current two front entrances. During this period of construction we will use a different, temporary entrance on the Cedar Street side of the building. We will have signage indicating this temporary entrance. To access the rest of the facility (i.e. pool, exercise area, locker rooms, racquetball courts, multi-purpose rooms, etc.) our members will cut straight across the side of the basketball gymnasium and follow the posted signage. During this phase of construction the pool, locker rooms, exercise area and basketball gymnasium will all remain open as normal.
We understand this will be an inconvenience but greatly appreciate your flexibility and patience as the front of the facility goes through a major transformation.
We know that construction projects can be challenging but our goal is to keep as many areas open as possible for our members. We are confident you will absolutely love the finished product.

Through the different workshops offered, we have a fundamental desire to provide opportunities for every family to build stronger bonds, achieve greater balance in their lives, and become more engaged with their communities.
