Dear Members,
We hope you are enjoying the summer! As we look ahead to the fall, we want to share information about our upcoming annual facility shutdown, and several important maintenance and improvement projects.
These projects are an important part of keeping our YMCA safe, and in the best possible condition for our members.
Upcoming Facility Improvements
We are excited to share that the basketball gymnasium floor will be professionally resurfaced, a project that is estimated to take approximately three weeks. The gymnasium will be closed starting Saturday, August 22, reopening on Monday, September 14. During this time, the gymnasium will be completely inaccessible while the floor is being refinished.
Please note, Joanne’s 10:45 a.m. “Flexed and Balanced” class, normally held in the gymnasium on Tuesdays and Thursdays, will be relocated outdoors to the back parking lot during the duration of the project.
Aquatics Maintenance
The pool, steam room, and whirlpool will be closed from Sunday, August 23, reopening Sunday, August 30 for annual maintenance. We appreciate your flexibility as we complete this necessary work and prepare these spaces for the year ahead.
Annual Cleaning & Maintenance
As in previous years, painting and deep cleaning will take place in phases. We will close one section of the facility at a time while keeping the remainder of the YMCA open whenever possible. This approach allows us to minimize disruptions while continuing to serve our members.
Most of our deep cleaning will take place over Labor Day weekend, when the entire facility will be closed.
Please note that all dates and timelines are subject to change, potentially with limited notice, based on the progress of the projects.
