Eugene Family YMCA Survey Weighs North Campus, Patterson Street Expansion Plans
Eugene Family YMCA's T2 survey closes March 30, with more than 2,000 responses already in as CEO Brian Steffen weighs expansion on Patterson Street and a new North Eugene campus.
More than 2,000 Eugene residents have already weighed in on the Eugene Family YMCA's future, responding to a community assessment survey that CEO Brian Steffen is using to guide one of the organization's most consequential capital planning decisions in years: whether to expand the Patterson Street campus in South Eugene, build a new facility in North Eugene, or pursue both.
The T2 Community Assessment Survey, which closes Monday, March 30, at midnight, asks community members to help shape YMCA facilities and programs over what the organization describes as "the next 20 to 30 years." Responses collected so far already exceed 2,000, signaling broad interest in how the Y develops its physical footprint across the city.
The two projects at the center of the planning effort reflect the YMCA's reach across Eugene's geography. The Patterson Campus expansion would grow the South Eugene property where the existing indoor Tennis and Pickleball Center operates on Patterson Street. The second option targets North Eugene, where the YMCA has identified a potential future location but has not yet announced a specific site.
The organization describes itself as being at early stages, noting on its website that it is "at the beginning stages of capital planning for two future locations." No cost estimates, timelines, or construction details have been released for either project.
Participation in the survey is open online, and the YMCA has noted that some community members may also be contacted to participate by phone. Feedback collected through the process is intended to identify priorities and shape planning "so the YMCA can continue supporting the health, connection and well-being of individuals and families across our neighborhoods," according to the organization.
The survey window closes five days from today. Anyone who has not yet participated can access the T2 Community Assessment Survey through the Eugene Family YMCA's website before the March 30 midnight deadline.
