About New City Ymca
The New City Ymca, located at 1515 N Halsted St in Chicago’s vibrant Near North Side, is a multi-use community center featuring a gymnasium and a 25-meter indoor pool. While it isn’t a traditional concert venue with a fixed seating chart, the YMCA hosts a variety of community events and performances adjacent to the revitalized NEWCITY district. When planning an event or visit, think flexible spaces, easy access, and nearby amenities that make a day out simple and enjoyable.
Whether you’re securing a spot for a community gathering, a youth program, or a local performance, we’ve got you covered with practical details, transit options, and trusted partner recommendations for nearby hotels and dining. Read on for a concise guide to getting around, where to park, and where to stay or eat when you’re in the area.
Important notes: The original YMCA site underwent redevelopment and the NEWCITY plaza now hosts many live concerts and community events. There isn’t a traditional seating chart for the New City Ymca itself, so capacity and seating arrangements are determined by the specific event and usage of the gymnasium or pool spaces. For transportation, the North/Clybourn Red Line (CTA) provides convenient access, and nearby garages in the NEWCITY development offer parking when available. If you’re attending a show or event, consider nearby hotels like the Carling Hotel and Kinzie Hotel for convenient stays, and explore recommended nearby dining options to complement your visit. For secure, straightforward ticketing and event access information, we’re your connection in the business—like having a friend on the inside who’s got you covered.
