Park South YMCA

The Park South YMCA in South Dallas has reopened after a $15 million reconstruction, and the Dallas Housing Authority has broken ground on a new $96.7 million housing project for seniors in Bonton.

The Park South YMCA in South Dallas has reopened after a year-long renovation, featuring new facilities, programs, and a commercial kitchen, and offering financial assistance to ensure equal access to the community.

For more than 50 years, the Park South YMCA has served South Dallas neighbors of all ages through exercise classes, childcare and community events. As part of YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas’ efforts to improve facilities, the Park South building is undergoing a major $15 million renovation, expected to be completed in early 2025.

The community is excited about the new amenities and upgrades to their Park South YMCA, but permit delays leave them without their Y until the end of 2024 or early 2025.

Last year, Madel Perez coached the Park South YMCA Sharks into a fifth-place victory in the regional competition. What made this such a remarkable win was that the South Dallas Sharks were one of the few teams with a diverse group of students.
