    Original Eichler Community Center, wonderfully preserved in a neighborhood of Eichlers. You can…read morefind these clusters easily with google maps by looking for neighborhoods with flat white roofs. Like other Eichlers, the building is abnormally and deceptively low to the earth with a wide sturdy footprint. The post and beam construction allows for larger windows and long-lasting durability. On closer approach you begin to notice a masterclass in natural, intimate lighting. You cannot go into the Montessori space unless your child is attending but if you ever have a chance to go into and Eichler you will be shocked by how well lit the inside is and how different natural light gradients make the space feel large, light, and comforting. I took a picture of an empty room and you can see how awesome the natural lighting is. The pool has a newer clubhouse designed in 2018 that complements the old community center in design. It has more modern bathrooms and changing facilities. The pool has a membership fee but it is clean and well maintained. You can't access the interior publicly so not worth coming unless you are a architecture diehard.

    The Greenmeadow Community Association is primarily for those families who live right here in the…read moresurrounding Eichler neighborhood, but they also offer associate swim memberships. We've been looking for a new swimming option, so I recently came by to check out Greenmeadow. In short it's a quaint neighborhood pool setup -- midday Saturday there were a few lanes blocked off for the lap swimmers while probably 2/3 of the pool was being used for kid and family play. There was a lifeguard on duty, but otherwise the feel was only a half-step more professional than a friend's backyard pool party. So that might sound like an insult to some, but the quiet familiar atmosphere actually holds a lot of appeal for me at this point (in contrast to say the Pacific Athletic Club, Decathalon Club, or other industrial-grade places we've been swimming at for the past few years). Associate membership runs $925 per family for the March-October season, so not insignificant, but reasonable if you're going to swim a lot. They are currently running a wait list of approximately one year. I haven't decided yet whether or not to throw our name on the list, but it's a pretty compelling option.

    A lifetime of memories…read more I sat on the lawn of the Eichler club last year as they held an end of the season swim club award ceremony. My two eldest kids (6, 4) just finished their first season there and were sitting up front with all the other kids and friends they made that Summer. Music played alongside a slideshow of all the fun moments throughout the season. Every kid was pictured. They handed out awards, and as the sun was setting, members, coaches, and the senior class gave speeches to the young ones. My 6 year old son said it was the best day ever, and as I sat there sipping my sangria, I quietly agreed. It was a beautiful moment. Just weeks earlier, my 4 year old daughter was climbing away from the diving board, too scared to finally jump into the deep end of the pool. She had mustered up all her courage to finally do the jump as she waited in line to participate in a "best belly flop" fun event at the club. But when the moment came, in front of dozens of people, it was all too much for her. "ZOE, ZOE, ZOE!" The club was suddenly wildly cheering her on. My little girl then turned around and jumped in. It was her first time jumping off the diving board, and from then on that's all she wanted to do. A member had taken a video of the moment and kindly shared it with me. That's one I'll cherish for the rest of my life. I hope my daughter will too. I never really had these kind of moments growing up. And I don't even know where to find them if I wanted to somehow have more of them. But I do know that my kids have made special memories already here at the Eichler club, and I hope for many many more. ----- Anyway, aside from that I played tennis here almost everyday using the ball machine. It was fantastic. I never had trouble finding a court, and at the same time, there were enough people there that I could meet and play with other people of various levels. I'm still just a wait-list member (they were testing a Summer membership program), but whenever I can join again I'll probably pick up and play a lot more pickleball there as it's impossible to find courts elsewhere in the area. I heard they're adding lights to the courts too, hope that works out Highly recommend this place. While membership is inexpensive from a Palo Alto perspective, the wait-list is ~5 years long. So put in that deposit ASAP because like me you'll wish you did earlier.

    Grounds completely remodeled in 2014, Eichler Club is an excellent low key, approachable community…read moregem. Our kids enjoy meeting up with friends while playing foosball, ping pong, tennis, and jumping off the diving board. Year plus wait list can be intimidating. If joining is a consideration, suggest submitting $250 deposit while you think about it. 'About Eichler Club' membership link: http://eichlerclub.com/new-members/
