The people and pool
I love the community at the Downtown Y including staff, residents, and my fellow swimmers and workout partners. The facility may be a bit worn, but it's clean and always welcoming. The Y is a big player in our lives!

POOL & SAUNA WITH A GREAT BASKETBALL COURT...JB
The staff are amazing! They provide a warm, welcoming, nurturing place for our kids before and after school. I don’t know what we would do without this program!! Amanda, Miss Terri and her team are rockstars.
They have great equipment that I can work out on in a female friendly environment. Swimming pool is great too. It is not crowded at the times that I go.
Most welcoming Y in CNY!!

I use the Downtown Y pool generally once per week. I like it is not crowded in the afternoons when I typically go.
