The YMCA of Middle Tennessee has announced plans to close the Maryland Farms YMCA on Maryland Way and merge its operations with the Brentwood YMCA on Concord Road, thus creating one regional location.

The YMCA is in the process of listing the 17-acre Maryland Farms property for sale. Proceeds from the sale will be used to complete a multimillion-dollar renovation to the Brentwood YMCA.

"The Y intends to keep the Maryland Farms Y open until the renovation and expansion of the Brentwood Y is tentatively scheduled to be completed in late 2022," officials said in the announcement.

The new Brentwood YMCA will feature expanded wellness and exercise areas, additional parking, a youth skate park, an enhanced outdoor aquatics facility and a multipurpose space for regional programs.
