After careful consideration over several years, the final day of operations for the Paul Henson Family YMCA will be December 20, 2024, with a closing time of 4 p.m. as staffing allows.

Discussions with the City of Prairie Village starting in 2019 allowed us to extend our operations as we explored the possibility of a new Prairie Village Community Center operated by the YMCA. Following the City Council’s decision on October 21 to cease exploration of a new community center despite widespread support for the project in two statistically valid community surveys, the Y determined it is no longer feasible to sustain the facility with the resources available.

We appreciate your support of the Y, and we understand the inconvenience this change may cause for you. Please visit https://tinyurl.com/mt7arhnv for additional information about this transition.
