Work continues at the Saratoga Regional YMCA branch on West Avenue where an addition will include a new location for the Saratoga Senior Center, as well as a new Youth Adventure Center.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Saratoga Regional YMCA launched the public phase of its capital campaign on\u00a0 <\/span>May 5 at its Saratoga Springs branch on West Avenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

YMCA staff, members, major donors, volunteers and community partners gathered for a kick-off celebration, followed by a tour of the construction site.<\/p>\n

Officials said the pressing need for greater socialization, increased healthy living programming, and safe and affordable childcare options was apparent when the YMCA decided to embark on the expansion project.<\/p>\n

Attendees at the May event were able to tour the construction site to envision \u201ca renewed, vibrant and connected intergenerational wellness hub,\u201d officials said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The expanded facilities will include a new wellness center that will have several spaces for weight training, group exercise classes, athletic training and chronic disease prevention programming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A new gymnasium will help accommodate the growing demand for pickleball leagues, summer day camp, youth sports and before and after school programming. It will also include a new Youth Adventure Center, which will be an indoor play space with a horse racing theme. Parents may use the space for supervised play for children six weeks to 10 years, enabling more families to take advantage of the YMCA.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>Officials said the idea to expand its services through a capital campaign developed last year, when the Saratoga Regional Y and the Saratoga Senior Center partnered up for the project\u2019s first phase. The Senior Center, in need of a larger space to provide for its ever-growing senior population, will move onto the Saratoga Springs YMCA\u2019s West Avenue campus in a new 14,500-square-foot home. A new shared intergenerational lobby will connect the Y and the Senior Center, creating a central meeting space for active older adults to easily access the valuable resources that both nonprofits offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The lobby area will also be an integral way to connect all generations, from infant to elder, that the YMCA serves daily, officials said.<\/p>\n

To begin the project, $3 million was donated last year by Bill and Susan Dake and Stewart\u2019s Shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the Charles R. Wood Foundation made a matching grant of $300,000 to support this endeavor. This grant\u2019s purpose is to encourage local community members to support of the capital project. As of May, the Saratoga Regional Y had raised 76 percent of its $8.9 million goal. The YMCA is asking the community to consider donating toward the remaining $2 million.<\/p>\n
