The Robinhood Road Family YMCA is rolling out some amazing upgrades to make your Y experience even better. The Robinhood Y is seen as a true hub of our community – where families come together, teens find safety and connection, seniors build relationships and all belong while enhancing their health and well being. Such passion is foundational to the plan to serve even more people as the reach of the Y expands.  

If you have visited the Robinhood Y recently, you won’t be surprised to learn that it is one of the busiest branches in the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina’s association and even one of the most bustling across the whole country! A select group of volunteers and donors understood this opportunity early on and jumpstarted the process by envisioning and partially funding what comes next for this beloved branch.  

What’s on the horizon:

• The C. Jennings Family Airnasium: Generously underwritten by Cary Jennings and wife Deborah Crotts, the C. Jennings Family Airnasium is a covered outdoor space to host everything from pickleball and basketball to group exercise and gatherings for all ages.  
• Expanded Parking: They are adding an additional parking lot with more than 140 spaces to accommodate current and future clientele. The Y wants to ensure that your visit to one of the busiest Ys in Forsyth County is pleasant from beginning to end, and we know that starts with finding a parking place! 
• A Fresh New Look: The building façade is getting a beautiful update to reflect the quality and energy found within the walls.

What’s the timeline:

Construction is already in full swing. The Airnasium, parking expansion and façade upgrades are all happening at the same time, with completion of all work expected by the end of the year.

A few things to know while they work:

In the meantime, the Robinhood Road Family YMCA is OPEN! All workouts, classes and activities will continue as usual. The main entrance and welcome desk will function as normal. Ample signage will be in place to direct you through this process. Your flexibility and patience is appreciated as you may encounter a busier parking lot and occasional front sidewalk closures. 

These projects are made possible by the generosity of the community. The Capital Campaign is still raising funds for these vital improvements! To help build the future of the Robinhood Road Family YMCA, please contact Executive Director Heather Warren for details. 

Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier and more connected community – one that truly lives our mission to, “help all people reach their God-given potential in spirit, mind and body!” Thank you for helping us shape this bold future for our beloved Robinhood Road Family YMCA!
