Help Shape the Future of Health, Well-Being & Connection in Lacey

Lacey Township is exploring ways to expand recreational opportunities for all ages and abilities, and getting input from our community is essential.

We’re excited to launch a Community Needs Assessment this fall to better understand how a potential community recreation facility can support healthier living, meaningful connections, and a stronger Lacey life for every generation.

We’re considering the YMCA of the Jersey Shore (the Y) as our partner in this initiative.

This is your chance to help shape a shared vision for the future of recreation in our town.

Why the YMCA?

The Y is a nationally recognized nonprofit with more than 150 years of experience in delivering high-quality community programming and managing inclusive, welcoming facilities. From child care and swim lessons to chronic disease prevention and senior wellness, the Y is committed to strengthening communities through programs that promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

The Y shares our commitment to listening to residents and creating spaces that bring people together year-round, across all ages and abilities. You can learn more about the YMCA of the Jersey Shore.

About the Community Needs Assessment

We’re inviting input from residents, educators, local leaders, business owners, healthcare providers, youth advocates, and more to help us understand the community’s needs, priorities, and hopes for the future.

Whether you live, work, raise a family, or plan to retire here, your perspective matters.

Take the Survey!

The Community Needs Assessment survey is open to all. It only takes about 10 minutes to complete and will help us determine whether to move forward with this potential partnership and what the future of recreation might look like for Lacey Township.

The survey will be live from Sept. 9 to Oct. 7.

Please know that the survey is being conducted by DBD Group and your responses are confidential.
