Park Slope Armory YMCA

Great community and helpful and friendly staff.

I love it very peaceful and I love the diversity out here reminds me of delancey street is Manhattan😁🤩

Good selection of exercise machines with a few around the perimeter of the 1/8 mile indoor track. Very spacious and clean. There are a variery of daily exercise classes as well. The Summer program is good if you want to try out your neighborhood YMCAs for $250 (individual) or $360 (family) for 3 months. You can go to any Ymca within your neighborhood under the summer plan.

Always improving. Small weight rooms and equipment is strangely spaced all around the massive space but it has everything you need. Staff at the front desk are always lovely. Go in the evenings or else be greeted by swarms of screaming children. But it’s a YMCA, what do you expect ?

I was so disappointed with our experience here at the YMCA SUMMER CAMP. My daughter who is 4 years old and has been in daycare/preschool since she was 2 years old complained about her experience on a daily basis. The whole reason why I thought this camp would be a good fit for us was because their camp was based on an air conditioned facility and not having to go outside in inclement weather like a heat wave. My daughter who is 4 years old ended up in the EMERGENCY ROOM because she was exposed to 94f degree weather at the playground and didn’t have any sunblock on. The camps response was that my child didn’t want sunblock on her skin. I didn’t understand why the children were at the park any way when there was a weather advisory and they have a perfect air conditioned facility to set up activities indoors. When I picked up my daughter that day I noticed bumps on her skin and spoke with her counselor and the supervisor and no one had noticed it until I picked her up which was pretty alarming to me that she had a rash all over her face, arms, legs and feet and no one noticed. I also think that the director of the program should invest in a wagon or shopping cart to have a counselor or a supervisor pull the children's book bags and lunch boxes on their walk to 9th street. Again you have 4yr olds carrying a bookbag full of belongings and lunch boxes in the heat all the way to 9th street. With the money the program charges I think they can afford a wagon or a shopping cart. And another complain I had was that there was no food or drinks provided from the DOE because they lacked personnel. Again, with all the money that we pay for our children to attend the camp I think this program should have been better organized and prepared. Another red flag was that since my child didn’t even want to go back I had to find another daycare that would take her for the last week and the YMCA didn’t even contact me to see why my child was absent. I’m sure they probably did not even notice. So I had to pay another center for the last week because my child didn’t even want to go back. In conclusion, I would not recommend this camp for a 4 yr old and will not be returning in the future.

Not all members of community are allowed in... More staff / volunteers needed.. Unclean

A very cool re-purposing of an old armory. The large open area makes for a big indoor track with spots for basketball. The staff is helpful and the child care is great. The down side is there isn’t a ton of equipment and there isn’t a real locker room. For a limited but affordable Y, this is a great place.
