Dear Members,

The Briggs YMCA will be making repairs and improvements to the parking lot. Parking spots at the Briggs YMCA will be limited August 28-August 30, and the whole facility will be closed September 1-September 8 for maintenance and parking lot repairs. We recommend that you take a look at the Briggs YMCA Parking Lot Project Map to help you prepare and understand where to park the next few days.
While many of the repairs – such as sealing and striping are routine. There will be additional repairs necessary due to root damage from the Cherry trees located in the lot. These repairs include concrete curbing, irrigation, electrical, lighting, and sewer. These additional repairs are being made to ensure people are not injured in our lot.
A key element of this project includes the removal of the Cherry trees and replacement with a more suitable tree species. We have engaged with both forestry professionals and landscape architects to determine the best course of action.
We will miss our Cherry trees and their spring blooms. We chose timing the work to give ample notice to our members, so they may enjoy one final blooming of the trees.
To learn more about this project, we encourage you to review our Briggs Parking Lot Project Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), which will be available at the Member Services desk and online. We also encourage you to connect with us through Facebook and download our mobile app to receive up to date notifications.

Dear Members,

We’ve expanded several room at our Briggs YMCA facility!
Our aim was to enhance your experience by utilizing space more effectively to improve comfort, security and safety.

What’s new a Briggs?

  • Kids Zone! was expanded by 800 sq ft and was divided into three distinct areas focused on different age-groups. Kids Zone! has new floors, a fresh coat of paint and new toys!
  • Family Changing Space was created! It includes a dedicated space for families to change and shower while providing direct access to the pool for swim lessons and open swim.
  • Cardio/Strength Room was expanded! The total space and capacity of the main exercise space increase by 40% by moving the cardio equipment to a new space on the second floor. We built a new cycling studio and small group training space on the main floor.
