The Prairie Summit YMCA is the newest location addition to the YMCA of the Cedar Rapids Metro Area. Members of the YMCA can use any of the YMCA’s in Linn County as part of their membership.

Key features of the Prairie Summit YMCA include both competition and recreation pools, which will serve as the home venue for Prairie swim teams and offer aquatic opportunities for younger students. Beyond its impressive aquatics amenities, the facility will feature locker rooms, two competition wood courts, a turf area, a walking track, cardio and fitness space, and two multi-use fitness classrooms. These amenities will be connected by a central core that will house a lobby, gathering space, YMCA administrative offices, and a café with seating. Site work and construction began this fall with completion projected for spring 2026.

DOES THE YMCA OFFER ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD MEMBERSHIP?

YES! The local YMCA provides over $1 million in financial assistance to local community members to ensure access to the Y. The YMCA provides financial assistance for memberships, through a sliding fee scale based on household income. Assistance is also available for programs at the Y. To apply, you will need to complete an application and provide documentation such as recent tax returns or pay stubs to verify your financial need. Application process: You'll need to fill out a financial assistance application and submit it, along with supporting documents. Required documentation: Be prepared to provide documents like your most recent federal tax return or a few months of pay stubs, as well as any other income verification. Confidentiality: The application and your information are kept confidential. Annual review: Assistance is typically reviewed annually, and you will likely need to reapply to continue receiving it. Where to start

WILL THE PRAIRIE SUMMIT YMCA HAVE AN AREA TO DROP OFF CHILDREN WHILE YOU WORK OUT?

YES! In the Y we call it ChildWatch. This is a FREE service open to YMCA members while they are working out in the facility. Staff does not change diapers or feed children so parents must remain on site. ChildWatch is not open all hours the Y is open so please check back when the Prairie Summit YMCA opens.

SPORTS LEAGUES - YOUTH & ADULT

Youth and adult sports leagues will be offered at the Prairie Summit YMCA. Details are still in development as facility schedules are currently in development.
