BASKETBALL PLAYER

“The Ridgewood Y’s open basketball court time provides the opportunity for me to play the game I love and was involved with, both as a player and a coach, for well over 40 years. Those of us who play here regularly have a great camaraderie and our games are competitive and fun. The added benefit, of course, is it keeps me in good shape!”

Julian from Midland Park

SWIM PARENT

“My son is 5 years old and had a fear of water. He is taking the Ridgewood Y’s swim classes now and has made so much progress in being comfortable in the water. He loves to tell us about all the things he is learning in class such as going underwater and floating! He is having fun and learning at the same time!”

Latha from Fair Lawn

TEENAGER

“This is my first year in the Ridgewood Y’s Teen Trip Camp and I love all of the activities we have been doing like visiting NYC and seeing the Statue of Liberty! My sister and I loved paddle boarding at Monksville Reservior, it was awesome! We made many new friends from different towns and we can’t wait to experience some more fun trips!”

Alicia from Old Tappan

ADULT FITNESS PARTICIPANT

“Joining the Ridgewood YMCA is the best investment I ever made. I use the swimming pools and the Strength & Conditioning gym every week. When people comment about my great physical condition, I tell them it’s a result of the Ridgewood Y.”

Eddie from Fair Lawn

“Joining the Ridgewood YMCA has provided me with an opportunity and a reason to get up and get moving every day. I come here for the work outs and for the social connections! The members and the staff are like family!”
