Operational Update Important Announcement Regarding YMCA Operations at Riverside
We want to let you know that the City of Riverside has decided not to renew the YMCA of Greater Kansas City’s operating agreement for 2027. Consequently, the last day of YMCA operations at the Riverside facility will be December 31, 2026.
We are deeply grateful to the City of Riverside for this partnership and for the opportunity to support the health and wellness of Riverside individuals and families over the years. Our commitment to the community remains strong: we look forward to continuing to serve local residents through the City’s Healthy Living Program, where the city covers 75% of YMCA membership fees for all Riverside residents.
As we navigate this transition, here is what you can expect moving forward:
-
Future Facility Operations: The City is expected to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for future pool operations. We will thoroughly review that opportunity once available and determine whether the YMCA will submit a proposal.
-
Support for Our Team: We are actively working with our Riverside associates to identify their needs and transition them into other positions within the YMCA of Greater Kansas City for 2027. We appreciate the dedication of our team and the vital work they perform every day.
-
Member Continuity: Riverside residents holding YMCA memberships will receive direct communication confirming that their memberships remain unchanged. Members will retain full access to all other YMCA of Greater Kansas City locations just as they do today.
Thank you for your flexibility, dedication, and commitment as we move through this transition together.
