According to an article that I read recently in mycentraljersey.com, construction of South Amboy’s new aquatic community center began on Thursday. This new aquatic center, located at the site located between Broadway and Portia Streets, is expected to be completed by September 2010 and just like a traditional YMCA, this aquatic center will provide community and recreational activities for residents in and around South Amboy.
The tract where this center will stand was donated by Peron Development and Peron Development has plans to use a portion of this land to build residential housing units. Peron Development has also agreed to provide an additional $850,000 for improvements to the aquatic community building. This project is expected to cost $9.8 million, some $3 million of which will come through Middlesex County grants. The remainder of the funds will come from tax-exempted bonds
This aquatic center will feature a spacious atrium, gymnasium, a senior fitness center, a wellness center for teens and families and a babysitting area where your little ones can play while you exercise or swim a few laps in the six-lane pool.
This new aquatic center in South Amboy will be a great asset to this community as it will provide local and nearby residents with a state of the art community fitness facility and aquatic center where they can meet some of their neighbors while enjoying the benefits of an active lifestyle.
Membership rates are expected to be established closer to the center’s opening date.
