Park Heights Campus Redevelopment

The JCC is thrilled to announce the redevelopment of the Park Heights campus, now renamed the Goldsmith Campus.

What's New

Effective March 30, 2025:
As we enter our third phase of construction, the transformation of The Associated’s new Goldsmith Campus is well underway. In addition to the JCC, the building we are housed in now includes the main offices for The Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, the Baltimore Jewish Council, and the Jewish Library of Baltimore.

In mid-March we opened the brand-new FLOW Studio for mind/body group fitness classes and the renovated EMPOWER Studio (formerly known as Studio One) for strength and equipment-based classes.

Over the next several months, we will be working on major upgrades to many of our JCC Sports and Wellness facilities. See below for details. Due to construction on the lower level, our J Play Babysitting and J Play Afternoons have moved upstairs to Studio J.

Here’s what’s in the works:

March–Fall 2025

• Fitness services will continue to be available in alternative spaces and some schedule modifications.
• Fitness Center and Locker Rooms under renovation.
• Cycling, NRG and then Group Fitness studios will be renovated
• The gymnasium has transitioned into a temporary full-service fitness center; this includes Fitness Too for single-gender workouts.

By Fall/Winter 2025-26

Phase 3 has begun and is expected to be completed by early Fall 2025 (see above for details). Phase 4 will focus on the Gymnasium, Auditorium, and J Zone. They are expected to be completed by January 2026.

J Zone, a new drop-in play space, will open on the Park Heights campus by January 2026

The pool will continue to operate throughout construction, however the male and female only swim times have been adjusted while both the men’s and women’s locker rooms are being renovated. During this time the pool schedule will mimic the rotating single-gender schedule of our temporary locker room (a retrofitted Family Changing Room).

Most of these facilities will be renovated during Phase 3. During this period, we will continue to offer comprehensive fitness, group fitness, and locker room experiences in special redesigned spaces. See above for details.

Due to limited space during construction, we are unable to accommodate birthday parties or rentals in Park Heights. These services will return to Park Heights by January 2026. In the meantime, please consider utilizing our Owings Mills facilities.
