This branch has a long history in Boise and is the heart of the Boise community. The facility first open in 1891 and eventually moved to the current location in 1968. The facility is 88,000 sq. feet with 17,000 members. The new location will be 108,000 sq. feet and plan to serve 23,000 members. The new facility will include a THRIVE (neurodiversity center), Healthy Living Center, Maker Space and STEM Studio, hospital partner, banking partner, full aquatics center, and wellness offerings. The development next to the Y will add between 500-700 new residents to help with opening of the Y.

We are currently in a $60 million capital campaign to build a new Downtown Y. T he new Downtown Y will be the hub and the heart of the Downtown community for the next generation and beyond. The new Y will provide services to those with diverse abilities, multigenerational programming, support to low-income families and those facing housing insecurity. It will continue its role as a community anchor alongside collaborative partners.
