Circling the Dowd Y parking lot will end one day soon. The Y plans to build a parking deck just behind the gym.
It will be a joint project with Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church.

It’s going to be cooler than just parking. Also look for outdoor fitness equipment.

Stretching area, 40-yard dash, medicine ball area, heavy punching bag, resistance bands, heavy rope, pull-up bar and rings are in the plans.

This is part of the Dowd’s massive renovation.
Don’t worry, the gym will stay open during construction. No hard timeframe yet. Groundbreaking should be this spring with an 18- to 24-month construction timeframe.

The plans go in front of the Charlotte City Council in May.
I wouldn’t expect many problems though.
