October 4, 2024 – The Piscataquis Regional YMCA Board of Directors announces that the YMCA operations at 48 Park Street in Dover Foxcroft, Maine will be closing no later than November 1, 2024.
After-effects of the pandemic, reduction in memberships, programming and declining public funds proved to be a combination of obstacles too great for the Piscataquis Regional YMCA to continue operations. Unfortunately, as a result of the declining revenues and escalating expenses it was a clear decision that operations were financially unsustainable.
We would like to thank all our members, donors, and employees for their devoted sponsorship of the YMCA over the years. We thank the great communities that we have serviced since 1988.
The pool will shut down immediately and other services will be closing over the coming weeks. We encourage members to explore alternative wellness facilities in the area. All memberships and programming will be prorated and refunded. Membership dues will not be drafted on or after November 1, 2024. All Memberships will be honored at the Old Town-Orono YMCA which is a thriving YMCA in the State of Maine with a large membership base and multiple programming opportunities.
We know this is a difficult time and we appreciate everyone’s understanding as this was a difficult decision. Please direct all questions to CEO Scott Wilcox, scott.wilcox@otoymca.org
