What's Happening At The Y
Expanding Our Reach in North Texas
The Re-Opening of Park South Family YMCA
We have officially opened the brand-new Park South Family YMCA. On June 24th, Park South Family YMCA Board, YMCA Leadership, and South Dallas community members celebrated the reopening with a Ribbon-Cutting celebration. We are thankful for our members, staff, donors, and community members for helping make this possible.
YMCA Camp Grady Spruce Celebrated the First Phase of $10.2 Million Renovation - June 17
We unveiled eight brand-new cabins and a renovated Dining Hall on the Ray Bean side of Camp Grady Spruce, with a new Welcome Center on the horizon. The expanded cabin capacity—from 144 to 256 beds—means more kids can experience the magic of camp, grow in confidence, and build lasting friendships. We're excited to keep the momentum as we transition into Phase Two of our campaign.
Waxahachie Family YMCA Park Groundbreaking – June 10
In partnership with the City of Waxahachie and Ellis County, Texas , we broke ground on the Cindy Hess Memorial Park, a new community park located next to the Waxahachie Family YMCA. The park will feature a pavilion, walking trail, sports fields, outdoor fitness areas, and more. We’re also actively raising funds to renovate and expand the Y facility, with construction planned for 2026.
A Look Toward The Future
As North Texas continues to grow and change, we recognize that the Y must grow and change with it. Elise Back, our Chief Growth Officer, was hired a year ago to focus on expanding our work in emerging communities, building relationships to grow our programming, and to make the Y’s presence felt in places it has not been evident before.
Renovations at several existing YMCA facilities are also on the horizon to accommodate growing community needs.

Celebrating An Impactful Summer
Summer at the Y is always a special time when kids learn new skills, make new friends, and have first-time experiences. This summer was no different, and we celebrate a summer to remember:
Summer 2024:
- Over 7,000 learned life-saving water skills in our Safety Around Water Program
- Over 2,900 children enjoyed camp
- The Y's Summer Learning Academy took place in 3 school districts
- Thousands of children received backpacks, supplies, haircuts, exams, and more at YMCA back-to-school fairs

What Our Members Say
When going through my divorce and transitioning to one income, the Y stepped in with a scholarship for my son to play baseball. With support like that, everything feels a little bit easier.
— Mayela, YMCA Parent
Because of (the Y) I found my blood pressure was in the danger zone. I had my medication modified...my outcome could have been very different. Thank you, YMCA staff for caring.
