Fort Bend County is partnering with the YMCA of Greater Houston, the City of Richmond, and other funding partners to redevelop the TW Davis YMCA facility in Richmond. The facility is undergoing a comprehensive renovation to better serve the growing needs of the community.

This project is supported by a $2.5 million contribution from Fort Bend County, part of the 2023 Parks Bond approved by voters. This investment has been instrumental in leveraging additional funding, including contributions from the George and Henderson-Wessendorf Foundations, the City of Richmond, and federal resources, bringing total funds raised to $11.8 million of the $16.8 million goal.

Planned improvements for the 19-acre property include:

  • Complete interior and exterior remodeling

  • New pickleball and tennis courts

  • Multipurpose community rooms

  • Expanded recreational fields and parking

  • An outdoor temperature-controlled swimming pool

  • Upgraded infrastructure to serve as an emergency operations center during disasters

Construction is scheduled to begin no later than January 1, 2026, with completion and reopening to the public anticipated on January 1, 2027. Upon completion, the YMCA is projected to serve approximately 15,000 members, offering programs that foster community connections, health, and wellness.

This redevelopment represents a significant milestone in providing safe, accessible, and modern recreational resources for residents of Richmond and the greater Fort Bend County community.
