1 / 3Prospect Park YMCA
π Brooklyn, NY
A family-friendly YMCA with indoor pool, group fitness classes, and accommodating staff who work well with children. Features family swim times, childwatch services, and various youth programs.
I love this YMCA. People are extremely nice and want to help you out. Never had any issue with the service- have actually found the staff and team members to be quite accommodating of me and my young son- and love the classes (for myself and my son). Really great vibe and great options.
π Family Action Verdict
This YMCA is excellent for families with children, offering accommodating staff and good family swim times and classes. Parents will find the environment welcoming with patient staff who work well with kids. However, the facility clearly prioritizes family programming over adult-only activities.

βMy English isn't very good, but the staff were very patient and helpful. And I also enjoyed my first free trial. I think their pools and showers are clean and lifeguards are also very concerned about our swimming conditions.β

βMain reason I got this membership was for the pools. So itβs extremely disappointing they seem to make no accommodations for working adults who donβt have children. Most swims are family swims for people with kids. Itβs hard to get to use the pool because they hardly have any adult swims. When I signed up I had no walk through to learn the building. And I was told to cancel or pause would require a 15 day notice. Absolutely ridiculous. Thinking I may let my membership go because I am not available for the few times they allow adult swim. Seeing as many others complain and they donβt seem to care enough to change it shows they donβt care about customer feedback.β

βIβve been a member for about two years and as a working class adult with no kids this place is pretty terrible in my personal opinion..aside from the locker room always smelling bad or old dudes with their Richard Nixon out, I come there to play basketball and itβs even a hassle to do that sometimes.. whether itβs them making you give your state ID just to use a basketball or slipping on the court because it hasnβt gotten waxed in god knows how long I canβt even get a good basketball workout in without getting kicked off the court because they donβt have another space for the kids to do activities in..atp Iβm almost at the point of canceling my membershipβ
