History

Established in 1965.

The Ridgewood YMCA building was constructed in 1931 and served as the Queens County Magistrate’s Courthouse. At the time, the brick and limestone-​trimmed building was the first courthouse erected in Queens since 1898. The courthouse shuttered its doors in 1962 and the YMCA of Greater New York purchased the building from the city in 1965 for $ 50,000. The building is the only one of three courthouses built during that time that is still being used (one in Elmhurst has been demolished; another in Rockaway is abandoned). The Ridgewood YMCA features over 21,000 square feet of state-​of-​the-​art program space, completely modernized with top-​of-​the-​line fitness equipment, health & fitness classes, gym, multipurpose rooms, and new locker rooms.
