BROOKHAVEN-ROE YMCA EXPANSION PROJECT
|
Who we are . . .
Our Y has been dedicated to building strong kids, strong families
and strong communities through programs that develop healthy spirit,
mind and body. Today we serve over 4,700 members. We offer a myriad
of programs and services and need space to offer much, much more.
Our facility in Holtsville houses one of the finest Olympic sized
swimming pools on Long Island. In that pool, we have taught more
than 30,000 children how to swim. We have nine acres of grounds that
lets us run programs and offer services that have served more than
50,000 children. Our Day Camp, throughout the summer is a welcome
respite for families and children who need summer activities. With
the extended hours we offer, some of the children are with us Monday
through Friday from 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
We are part of their family. We are
part of many families.

The Project. . .
We, the Executive Staff at the Roe YMCA and the Board of
Managers, are very excited to announce a new YMCA in the Village of
Patchogue set to open late spring 2010! This 3-story, 54,000 sq. ft.
facility, will be the open, welcoming community center for Patchogue
and many surrounding communities.
It will house: a six-lane, twenty-five yard pool, three locker rooms
(ladies, men’s and one for the family,) gymnasium for basketball,
volleyball and sports classes, full day child care wing, a ‘drop-in’
teen center – complete with computer lab, lounge, game section and
supervision, a wellness center with cardio, strength training and
free weight equipment, an elevated 3-lane running/walking/jogging
track and a new Adventure Zone complete with a two-story rock
climbing wall! Ground has been broken and construction is under way.
A tremendous amount of work has gone into making this
groundbreaking a reality and we cannot wait to build the new YMCA
that will serve the surrounding communities. We have been members of
the area community for the past 30 years. Due to the generosity of
great benefactors that have come before us, like Norman Roe, we have
been able to grow and serve the youth through all of those 30 years.
