Enhancement Week Hours

We're getting ready for fall with Enhancement Week!

Each of our branches will be closed for one week to spruce up our facilities. Most programs and indoor facilities will be canceled/closed EXCEPT Childcare and Early Learning Centers, Camp and Outdoor Pools (note that locker rooms are closed). If you or your child is enrolled in programs, ask your Program Director for details.

To minimize the impact to your routine, we encourage you to visit a nearby branch while your home branch is closed for maintenance and beautification. Staggered closure dates are as follows with branch-specific details listed further below.

  •  Aug 21 - 27 | Kennett, Lionville and Upper Main Line
  •  Aug 28 - Sep 3 | Jennersville, Brandywine and West Chester
  • Oscar Lasko YMCA will not close for Enhancement week.
  • NOTE: Indoor pools at select branches will be closed for an extended period of time. See details by branch below to learn more.

NOTE: All branches have altered hours on Monday, September 4 in celebration of the Labor Day holiday. View Labor Day Hours

 

New Wi-Fi Network

When our branches re-open after Enhancement Week, you may notice a new Wi-Fi network for your use. We plan to de-activate our current network the evening of 9/4, so you'll need to join our new network on 9/5 if you want to use Wi-Fi while in our branches. See the Member Services desk for help logging on.

What is Enhancement Week and why does the Y close? 

Enhancement week is a yearly event at the end of summer when we close our branches to make improvements to our facilities. Improvements vary by branch and can include maintenance and construction projects, reconfiguration of spaces and a deep clean of the entire facility. We apologize for any inconvenience and invite you to visit another YMCA branch within our association
