New YMCA in Largo to Include Heath Center, Sports Fields, Learning Centers

The following was submitted for publication on behalf of the YMCA of St. Petersburg: 


Over 150 community members joined the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg Tuesday to break ground on a new Bardmoor YMCA.  The $6.6 million project will grant the capacity to serve more than 14,000 local residents annually through membership and programs.  The development of the project by Ed Taylor Construction will be complete in August 2014.

 

The new Bardmoor YMCA will be built on a five-acre vacant lot located within the Bardmoor Palms II Business Complex in Largo, between Bryan Dairy Road and Starkey Road.  Amenities for the 36,000 sq. foot building will include a health and wellness center, group exercise and spin rooms, full gymnasium, locker rooms, outdoor sports field, café, multi-purpose room, Kid’s Zone, and an early learning preschool center.

“While this expansion for the Bardmoor YMCA is exciting in terms of the new amenities and features we’ll be able to offer, what’s even more significant is that it will enable us to better serve the local community through an increased capacity for youth development programming, as well as expanded options for adult health programs,” said David Jezek, President/CEO of the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg.
