The road construction schedule has been moved up which will mean that Y Drive will be closed starting Monday.  Please come to the Y from Sherman Avenue. There will be NO THROUGH traffic coming from the state park side of Harbor Drive.  As construction continues, Y Drive will re-open and Mulligan Drive will be closed as the work progresses through the parking lot up to the Water Treatment Plant. There will always be one drive open for access to the Y.  All road construction is set to be completed before Memorial Day. We will continue to keep you posted.  Click here to see map of the Y area.  You can read more details here in this Tribune article.

Looking to add cardio to your workout but don’t want to hit the treadmill?  Try our new Cardio Interval class which meets on Monday evenings from 5:30-6:30 pm in the multi-purpose room.  The class is a combination of high/low aerobics, step intervals, shadow boxing and more!  The workout concludes with core exercises and a great stretch.  Give it a try!
