LOWER PARKING LOT CLOSURE
August 31 – November 30

A portion of the lower parking lot will be closed for approximately 12 weeks to accommodate construction crews as they renovate and improve our lower fields.

During this time, the lower parking lot entrance and exit will be unavailable.

We’re excited about the improvements this project will bring to our Y and community, including:
• A safer, improved playing surface
• New lighting
• An upgraded drainage system
• A new walking path

We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the construction process. These improvements are an exciting investment in our YMCA and will help create a safer, more enjoyable space for our members and community for years to come.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to improve our Y!
