“Opening a Y in a community is a game changer for kids in the area. With a Y, they can beat the odds and be so much more.” – William Rueckert, President, Cleveland H. Dodge Foundation
Coney Island is about to get a brand new YMCA.
As part of the new Coney Island Commons project, the new Y promises to be a center for community life and a shining example of the diversity of the newly revitalized Coney Island landscape.
Through careful research and meaningful partnerships, the Y will adapt its programs and services to meet the needs of the local community. Whether that means offering youth and teens academic support, college and job readiness counseling to teens, or providing ESOL classes to groups of New Americans, offering swim class as part of the 2nd grade curriculum to 7-year-olds, or any and all of the above, the Y is committed to enhancing the lives of everyone it serves. And as part of the YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign, membership and program fees will be affordable to all and no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay.
About the new Coney Island YMCA
Located at W 29 and Surf in Coney Island, Brooklyn, the 40,000 square foot YMCA is part of the Coney Island Commons project and will include an aquatic center with a six-lane lap pool and family recreational lap pool, a full court gymnasium, fitness and multi-purpose rooms, a double-height social room and office space.
“The YMCA of Greater New York is proud to be a partner in this exciting development – one that is sure to become a community anchor in Coney Island,” said YMCA President and CEO Jack Lund. “As one of the City’s leading youth service organizations, we will provide much-needed after school programs, teen leadership initiatives, healthy kids programs, wellness initiatives, a vast array of other important services, and, of course, plain old fun. The Y is committed to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities, and we’re very glad to have a presence here in Coney Island.”
