Crossroads YMCA is excited to announce a new fieldhouse on the property at Dean and Barbara White Southlake YMCA in Crown Point, IN. This fieldhouse and Rich Parks Outdoor Sports Complex expansion project is being created to meet the growing needs of YMCA members and expand the offerings for youth and families. This project is possible due to the ongoing generosity of Franciscan Alliance. Franciscan Alliance has donated over 25 acres to help the Y create the Dean and Barbara White Southlake YMCA complex, which is the largest YMCA in the country. The Y strengthens the community by serving thousands of individuals a day, supporting their health and wellness activities. Crossroads YMCA fosters a sense of belonging through more than 1 million visits annually.

The expansion will be north of the current YMCA property, adjacent to the current outdoor sports fields and will wrap around the pond*. This YMCA expansion encompasses three key components:

• Expansion of the Rich Parks Outdoor Sports Complex with additional turf field, outdoor restrooms/concessions, and a walking path around the pond
• Fieldhouse Construction that will have courts for basketball, volleyball, and other court sports; concessions and meeting rooms
• Pickleball Center that includes dedicated indoor and outdoor pickleball courts
