We have some exciting news to share, and this is one we're especially happy about. Starting Saturday, Oct. 24, the Boothbay Region YMCA is expanding our hours, and that means we're bringing back Sundays!

You've been asking, and we've been listening! We're excited to welcome our members back to the Y seven days a week!

We know that life gets busy, and sometimes finding time for yourself, your family, or a little fun can be a challenge. Between work, school, sports, and everything else that fills our calendars, it's easy to put our own health and wellness on the back burner. Our hope is that opening on Sundays will give our members another opportunity to do the things they love, connect with friends, and enjoy all that our Y has to offer.

Sunday hours will be 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with access to the wellness center, gymnasium, and field house. Whether you want to get in a workout, shoot some hoops, enjoy a game of pickleball, or just get out of the house and have some fun, we'd love to see you!

Our new hours beginning Oct. 24 are: 

• Monday–Thursday: 5 a.m.–8 p.m. 

• Friday: 5 a.m.–7 p.m. 

• Saturday: 7 a.m.–3 p.m. 

• Sunday: 11 a.m.–3 p.m. 

One of the things I love most about our Y is the way it brings people together. It's so much more than a place to exercise. It's where friendships are made, families spend time together, and people of all ages find a place to belong. Sometimes that connection happens during a fitness class or a friendly game of pickleball. Other times, it's a quick conversation in the lobby or seeing a familiar face that makes your day a little brighter. Those small moments matter, and they're part of what makes our Y so special. 

As we continue to look for ways to better serve our community, listening to our members will always be an important part of that work. You've told us that having access to the Y on Sundays matters, and we're happy to make it happen. We want our Y to be a place that works for you and your family, where you feel welcome, supported, and encouraged to live a healthy, active life. 

So grab your sneakers, your pickleball paddle, or a friend, and come see us! Maybe Sunday becomes your new favorite day at the Y. 

We're here for you, seven days a week, and we can't wait to see you on Sunday!
