“This coming year marks our Y’s 75th anniversary and I’m most excited about our upcoming building project and the 
opportunities it will provide to our community. The plan is to add two new fitness studios for spin and yoga; expand our Wellness Center on the first floor and the second floor mezzanine, which will allow us to add more equipment; add in seating for pool viewing (Pool 2) for our Swim Team, and the addition of a new campsite and two playgrounds for our Child Care participants. We are excited to start construction in early 2022, pending approval of the project from the Township.
This project will give us the opportunity to better serve our children and families. It will enhance our Child Care and Camp programs and enhance the experience in our Wellness Center as well as that of the participants in our group exercise classes and Swim Team. Right now, for instance, our Wellness Center equipment is still in our gym, which limits the other programming – like gymnastics and youth basketball – that we can hold in there. This will add additional space allowing us to offer more for our community. For our camp, we currently utilize a local school as well as a section of our parking lot. This will give our campers green space, open fields and a covered pavilion. The children in our Child Care program will have two age-appropriate playgrounds.
The last two years and the pandemic have showed us the need for more open air spaces along with more space indoors. This project is going to give us the ability to continue to serve our community at the level it deserves for the next 75 years and beyond.”
