~ The BCYF Curley Community Center, located in South Boston, is set to reopen after a $31.2 million renovation. The center, originally opened in 1931 as a bathhouse and dedicated by Mayor Curley as a "monument to health", was last renovated in 1989.

Beginning on Friday, June 9, the public will be able to take free tours of the newly renovated space. Tours will run on the hour from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on weekends until June 14th. Weekday tours for seniors will begin at 9:00 a.m.. Members can begin using the center for self workouts beginning June 15th with limited programming and classes starting June 20th.

The renovations include creating open and accessible hallways throughout the entire building, a fitness studio, yoga/dance studio, cardio space, childrens' space, womens' and mens' steam and sauna, senior space, teen space, strength training area and multi purpose spaces and offices with an emphasis on resiliency measures such as interior waterproofing and removable metal plates to help hold back water on the ocean side in order to combat climate change impacts such as future "king tides" .
