Men’s Locker Room Maintenance at the Manchester Y
September 26, 2024The men’s locker room at the YMCA of Downtown Manchester will be closed for renovations starting Monday, October 21. We are expecting the locker room to be back open on Monday, December 30. During this time, the men’s locker room, including the lockers, showers, steam room, and sauna, will be inaccessible to members.
Locker Room Facilities
During the closure, those who typically use the men’s locker room will be asked to use the universal locker room. It is important to remember that the universal locker room is a shared space among families and children. Nudity is not allowed. Adults should not move throughout the locker room spaces undressed during renovations. We will also temporarily provide some flexibility on usage of all locker room spaces:
- Youth 6 years and younger will be able to use the locker room of the gender their parent or guardian associates with.
- Youth 7 years and older will be asked to use the locker room of the gender they associate with independently.
- Families will still have access to the universal locker room, however, we strongly recommend coming dressed and prepared for your workout or aquatics program.
- Lockers in the universal locker room are only available for daily use. Locker reservations will not be available.
- Additional private restrooms and changing areas are located behind the Welcome Center and on the pool deck.
Reserved Locks & Belongings
Members must remove all locks and belongings from the men’s locker room by Monday, October 14. Any items that remain in the locker room after this date will donated or discarded.
Sauna & Steam Room
Members looking to use a sauna or steam room during the renovations are encouraged to visit the YMCA Allard Center of Goffstown. The women's sauna and steam room will remain open during the closure.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to improve your facility. If you have any questions about the closure, please stop by the Welcome Center. We can’t wait to unveil the new men’s locker room later this year! Women’s locker room renovations will take place in summer 2025. More information to come.
