Growing With Our Community

Midtown YMCA Expansion

 

As our community continues to grow, so does the need for spaces that bring people together, support healthy living, and create opportunities for all. The YMCA’s vision for the expanded Midtown YMCA is rooted in meeting today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow—building a welcoming, full-service facility where children, families, seniors, and neighbors can connect, thrive, and belong.

 

This expansion will allow the YMCA to serve more people, strengthen community well-being, and ensure access to life-changing programs for generations to come.

 

    


OUR VISION

The expanded Midtown YMCA will be a place where community happens — where children learn confidence, families build healthy habits, seniors stay active and connected, and neighbors come together in meaningful ways.

Designed to grow alongside our community, the expanded facility will provide accessible, modern spaces that support wellness, youth development, water safety, and community connection close to home.

The expanded Midtown YMCA will include:

  • A brand-new indoor aquatics center
  • Expanded health and wellness spaces
  • Group exercise studios and indoor recreation areas
  • Multi-sport courts for youth and family activities
  • Additional classrooms for child care and youth programming
  • Gathering spaces for teens, families, and older adults
  • Outdoor amenities designed for connection and recreation

More than a building, this project is an investment in the long-term health, safety, and vitality of our community. With the support of generous donors and community partners, the Midtown YMCA will continue to be a place where everyone is welcome and every person has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Support our vision for a happier, healthier, more connected community.

To inspire community participation and accelerate the impact of the campaign, the Foundation will match every new gift dollar-for-dollar — up to $1 million.
