Overview
- The Y of Central Maryland will stop running the two county-owned pools on August 31, 2026, saying these sites cannot support the full range of Y programs.
- Baltimore County said closing the facilities is not an option and is reviewing plans that include hiring another vendor or shifting to county-run operations.
- County Councilman Julian Jones set a virtual town hall for May 11 to hear community input and push to keep the pools in active use.
- During the transition, members from Dundalk and Randallstown can use any Y in Central Maryland at their current rate through August 31, 2027, and lessons will continue at other Y sites.
- Residents call the pools vital for summer lessons and senior exercise, and some older members worry they lack transportation if services move to farther locations.
