Current Parking Map and Entrance
UPDATE: June 19, 2025 – Construction work begins!
Parking
The initial work on our construction project will consist of completely reworking and expanding our existing parking areas, in advance of the parking garage being constructed by the neighboring developer. This will result in changes to where you can park when you come to the Jim & Heather Gills YMCA.
Beginning Monday, June 23, parking directly north of the Jim & Heather Gills YMCA entrance will be closed. Over the next approximately five weeks, that area will be redesigned as temporary parking for future use during the construction project.
Please refer to the map above for current parking information and look for signs on the property to guide you.
YMCA building entrance
The construction will require that we occasionally must change the entrance to the YMCA temporarily.
The map above shows the current entrance location, indicated by an orange arrow. Signs on the property will also guide you to the entrance
What’s coming
While more details will be announced soon, here are some highlights of what’s ahead for the YMCA:
We are working diligently to ensure these updates are implemented with as little disruption to our members as possible. Your comfort and continued access to YMCA programs remain our top priorities throughout this process.
