🎉 A historic day for the Flushing YMCA and our community! 💙
Today, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the new B**g and May Yu Family YMCA at Flushing Commons—an exciting milestone as the Flushing Y celebrates 100 years of serving Queens and begins building toward its next century of impact.
The new 63,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art YMCA will create even more opportunities for our community to connect, grow, and thrive, with an eight-lane swimming pool—the largest of any YMCA branch in NYC—a regulation-size gymnasium, exercise studios, multipurpose rooms, and dedicated spaces for youth programs and our New Americans Initiative.
👏 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this moment possible—Congresswoman Grace Meng Grace Meng Rep. Grace Meng , Assemblymember Ron Kim Ron Kim , New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie Carl E. Heastie , Councilmember Sandra Ung Sandra Ung , Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Queens BP Donovan Richards , YMCA of Greater New York Board Chair Raymond Yu and the Yu family, Delta Air Lines Delta Air Lines , The Clark Foundation, F&T Group, the New York City Economic Development Corporation NYCEDC , and all of our partners and supporters!
And a very special THANK YOU ❤️ to our incredible Flushing YMCA staff—past and present—whose dedication, hard work, and love for this community have carried the Y through 100 years of service. This milestone belongs to you, too. 💙
100 years behind us. A new YMCA ahead. And our next century in Flushing is just beginning. 🏗️🎉
