The South Shore YMCA has officially broken ground on the Hale Family Y expansion in Quincy this week. This ambitious project will add 20,000 square feet to the existing facility, including a state-of-the-art gymnastics center, dedicated teen programming space, and large-scale studio for health and wellness and adaptive programming. A huge thank you to Rob and Karen Hale for their incredible generosity and support, and to Mayor Thomas Koch for his unwavering commitment to our community, and to the entire team at Integrated Builders. This expansion is part of the ongoing Leave Your Mark capital campaign, which has already raised over $12 million for transformational projects across the South Shore. The new facilities will provide incredible opportunities for youth, teens, and active seniors to engage in positive, empowering activities. We look forward to welcoming the community to these new spaces in early 2026! 🎉

To our Hale Family Y Members & Friends,
Happy New Year! We are excited to announce that our much-anticipated Hale Family YMCA expansion project will begin on Monday, January 6. The 20,000 expansion will add an almost 9,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Gymnastics Center and our largest group exercise studio, which will be nearly 3,500 square feet. The project is expected to be completed in the winter of 2026.
As the project begins next week, here are a few things you’ll need to know for January. Our goal is to minimize disruptions to your Y experience throughout the entire project.
- Starting January 6, 2025, a small portion of our side parking lot will be unavailable for parking.
- To accommodate construction vehicles and materials, our playground driveway will not be accessible to members, including State Street Early Learning Center families.
We will keep you updated with project progress via email and on our website. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at kszafir@ssymca.org.
Thank you,
Katelyn Szafir
Vice President, Hale Operations
