The City of Gig Harbor & the YMCA are in the process of developing a new Sports Complex next to the existing YMCA, a project in motion since the City Council approved the purchase of land in December 2017. Over the past five years, the city has allocated $10.5 million through various funding sources to bring this complex to life. The city has also made significant strides in planning, securing funding, and maintaining the vision, with completed master planning, the engagement of engineers for further studies, and partnerships such as the lease agreement with the YMCA for two lit, synthetic turf fields under Phase 1A.

The Gig Harbor Sports Complex Phase 1B project is fully funded with $5.2 million included in the city's 2023-24 budget. Phase 1B will include restrooms, concession building, picnic shelters, event lawn, Bocce ball courts, pickle ball courts and additional parking.

Phase 2 & 3 are not funded yet but will include additional sporting fields. This ongoing commitment highlights the city's recognition of the importance of providing high-quality, lit synthetic fields for the community's youth, ensuring the project continues on schedule with proper funding, staffing, and partnerships in place.
