Safety First

Please drive slowly in the parking lot, especially after dark. Many members and children are walking to and from the facility, and they can be difficult to see. Your caution helps keep everyone safe!
- Strollers are not allowed in the Y. Please leave them in the covered area outside.
- Everyone entering the Y MUST check in at the Member Services Desk. ALL members must check in using their membership card, the Rye Y app or last name. ALL others must check in using a sign-in sheet.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone at the Rye Y safe!
Keep Our Community Healthy
- Stay home if you are feeling sick.

- In the Fitness Center, wipe down equipment before and after usage.
