We, who enjoy the Flamborough YMCA, do not enjoy having our vehicles dented and scratched due to parking spaces that are too small to allow doors to be opened safely. In addition, it can often be next to impossible to load a child into a car seat due to the car beside being too close.
We urge you to have the parking space lines repainted to allow us to park without returning to a damaged vehicle.
Thank you

The YMCA management is still pretending that our mangled car doors are not their problem. I am tired of their silence while our property gets destroyed in their paint-chipped lot.

The administration at the YMCA is finally feeling the heat from our movement. They can no longer ignore the daily damage to our cars while hiding behind their indifference.

We go to the Waterdown Y for swimming with our kids every Saturday morning...no word of a lie...My husband who was driving had to climb through the passenger side to get in the drivers side because a car was park so close to ours. My son had to do the same thing. We were livid. There was approximately 2 inches between cars. We couldnt believe that someone would park like that! This petition is a great thing and I hope something is done about it soon!
The Y's parking lot has to have the narrowest parking spaces. All too frequently you return to either barely any room to open your doorwithout making contact to the one next to you, or a miserable door ding. Very annoying! Please repaint the parking spots and allow more room to park.
Wider spaces are needed for the many families who attend with their children. Sometimes parking away from cars is not an option during peak times. Wider spaces would be a huge convenience.
small spots
spots are way too small- dings and dents are common occurances, as kids fling doors open without regard to the vehicles next to them.
needs to be redone.
We appreciate that this forum has been developed to bring this issue to attention. The YMCA takes any concerns related to the safety of members and the community very seriously. Our facility management team will be visiting the branch to investigate this issue later today. We will communicate any next steps at the membership desk. It is important to note that the land in where the Flamborough YMCA branch is situated is City property and is also shared with the school board. Consultation would always need involve those partners to ensure the appropriate number of parking spaces are in place based on legal agreements before any changes could be made. Please feel free to contact me via email at [email protected] with any additional questions. Sincerely, Kyla Kumar, Vice President YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford

I have a big family and we really need wider parking spots to load and unload my 2 months old baby. Also every time my wife and I need to take extra caution with our 4 years old son to open the door carefully to do not damage other vehicles and our vehicle also!!
