With stunning views, premier amenities, and wellness programs for all fitness levels, we’re proud to be fostering wellness and community in the Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, and Mission Bay neighborhoods. Together, with our community and partnerships, the YMCA of Greater San Francisco is investing in a new facility that re-envisions Building 49 in the Dogpatch at Crane Cove. Through our community-focused programming, this facility will create opportunities for physical and mental wellness, environmental stewardship, and economic success.

community impact

Crane Cove Park has quickly become the central hub of the Dogpatch neighborhood. With the combined energy generated by Chase Center, Pier 70, the Power Station, UCSF medical campuses, and small business opportunities, Crane Cove is the newest area for creative and sustainable urban development. Our Dogpatch Y at Crane Cove will bring excitement and innovation to our vibrant, growing District 10 community.

Guided by our holistic approach to community-centered solutions, we ensure that people who have historically been impacted by structural inequality will have access and a voice in this project through culturally, linguistically, and gender-responsive practices.

This will be a gathering point for neighbors from Dogpatch, Potrero, Bayview-Hunters Point, Visitacion Valley, and Mission Bay. By leveraging the passion and expertise of Dogpatch Paddle, the YMCA will provide opportunities for San Francisco youth to take part in enjoying and protecting the waterfront. We will ensure that this space will build healthy, sustainable and equitable communities for all generations AND generations to come!
