Building a Brighter Future: Revolutionary New Downtown YMCA Breaking Ground Soon

The Treasure Valley YMCA (The Y) is preparing to break ground this fall on a landmark project in downtown Boise. As Boise’s population continues to grow, the 54-year old current facility can no longer meet the community’s needs and is costly to maintain and upgrade. This initiative is designed to create a more inclusive environment (watch member stories here), providing vital services to those who need them most, particularly underserved populations.

The CapEd Downtown Boise YMCA facility will feature state-of-the-art amenities aimed at enhancing community health, wellness, and connection. Some of the key features include:

• Aquatic Center: A comprehensive space for swimming and water-based activities.
• Healthy Living Center: Focused on promoting fitness and well-being.
• THRIVE Center: Tailored support for individuals with diverse abilities.
• Child Development Center: Early learning and care services for young children.

These additions are set to make the YMCA a cornerstone of community support, ensuring that all residents have access to the resources they need to thrive.
