Summer at the Y – Outdoor pools, splash pads, and more!

Spend time with family at our staycation destination with access to 5 outdoor pools, splash pads, and more! Enroll in Family Membership this summer and enjoy unlimited access to our outdoor pools, splash park, special summer events and so much more!

Outdoor pool access is a benefit of full privilege YMCA of the North Shore memberships, and excludes “Local Only” memberships, regular guest passes, and YMCA Nationwide visitors. Due to limited space, the member “bring a friend” guest benefit does not apply to outdoor pools and splash parks.
