Soldiertown is one of the best basketball facilities in the SF Bay Area. It is exciting and in a…read morecentral location. It is home to the Oakland Soldiers team. I would have given it five stars but I deducted one star for 3 ongoing minor irritations! I will list suggestions on how to improve and make this facility even better: FIRST, NO parking despite having a parking lot which they charge 5.00 for. Not the greatest of areas, parking outside gets jammed packed too( no wonder it used to be called Jamtown...lol...just playing!). Note the restaurant supply store will tow if you are parked in their area. SECOND, they do not allow the great vendors outside to sell drinks!!! On a hot day, you are dying bc their vending drink machines are not working, but takes your money! They don't always have someone that can fix or help you either to get your money back! So Soldiertown, please allow the vendors to sell some drinks( maybe just different brands then the ones you have in the vending machines?) ! Otherwise, people are getting upset as I was working the entry table as a volunteer at this weekend's tournament and people were upset Saturday machines were broken and taking their money and they wanted their money back! I told them we have nothing to do with the machines. And some were asking if there was a snack bar so that would be good to have again, too! THIRD, wish they have more Soldier gear and an open shop esp during tournaments! They are always out of supplies- please order more! Have a website that is working( doesn't work!), so we can buy and think about how much you are losing by not having it available! So many times I want to buy at your store or website, but always not available! I give up! Please order more of the FAMILY sweatshirts, hoodies, short sleeve tees and long sleeved tees in ALL sizes for both men and women! I have 7 in the family and we want to represent, so can you imagine how much money you could have made when all of these families want to buy some, but these are not available? HINT: NOW I bring my ice chest and bring my own drinks since it never works there! Wish they bring back their snack bar in the back and sell the drinks there even! So TIP and be forewarned: Bring lots of water and soda in your cooler- you will thank me! Otherwise I love Soldiertown! One more thing, I noticed people asking me at the entry table. YES, they DO have an ATM machine available in the gym! Just be aware to make sure to push EXiT on the ATM machine bc when I was working security there many people left it open and you can see their transactions and luckily I saw it and I am an honest person so exited out for them or else someone can get money out of their accounts or something!? So while I was there I would remind them to make sure they pushed the exit button and go to the beginning screen! Edited to add: Met the Soldier's owner, Mark, working at the vending machine in fact lol! Idk if he read the yelp beforehand, but they were working fine that Sunday and filled! It shows good management if he did read it and implement the suggestions! All the Soldier staff from the guy who kept the place clean and constantly filling the soap dispensers ( always with a smile whatever we asked him to do- bring chairs, clean bathroom, fill soap, picked up trash constantly, etc- he was great and I personally thanked him even bc he was working so hard!) to the manager and even to the owner! They were in full force on Sunday making sure everything ran smoothly and were very friendly and great staff! Love this facility even more now and if they implement my suggestions to help their place be even better than the best they are now! The ultimate place to hold a tournament and represent! I just wish it was closer to me so my son could go there to practice everyday! Excellent business!

My two oldest sons attended Hoopsphere about 10 years ago. Not only did they develop strong…read morebasketball skills, but they also competed in many tournaments and learned invaluable lessons about teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Ten years later, I brought my youngest son back. As a child with ADHD, school has not been easy for him. Staying focused in the classroom has always been a challenge. But he discovered a true passion for basketball. After returning to Hoopsphere, he couldn't wait to come home and show us the new skills and tricks he had learned. Little by little, we watched his confidence begin to grow. One especially heartfelt moment happened this summer. I made a special--and admittedly bold--request, asking if one of the coaches could spend a few minutes encouraging my son. Coach Vincent went far beyond anything I expected. He sat down with my son, acknowledged the progress he had made, encouraged him to keep working hard and to always be himself, and then presented him with a special medal. What a difference that single act of kindness made. My son came home smiling from ear to ear, proudly showing us the very first medal he had ever earned. Since that day, I've seen remarkable changes. He started asking me to give him harder math problems. He began confidently joining neighborhood kids for pickup basketball games. That one conversation, that one moment of recognition, truly changed him. We will forever be grateful to Hoopsphere--not only for its outstanding coaches and professional basketball training, but even more for the genuine care, encouragement, and love they show every child. They are helping shape young people's physical, mental, and emotional well-being during such an important stage of life. Thank you to all the coaches, especially Coach Vincent. Thank you, Hoopsphere, for making such a meaningful difference in children's lives.

I feel so fortunate to have walking access to this beautiful, neighborhood park that's really a…read morehidden gem. It really is a great representation of the diversity in San Leandro. Most people won't realize there's a small park enclosed in a rather quiet part of town, and would even consider stopping here. If you want an escape though, this is one to consider. Each time I come home to visit/stay with my parents, I end up going to this park almost 4-5x a week. It's a simple park with lovely grass field with picnic tables and grilling pits scattered around. One side has a public restroom and the other is a playground for young children. People often come to walk or jog the circumference of the grass. Depending on the time of day you come, it'll be a completely different population. After the morning joggers, you'll find the older Asian crowd doing tai-chi, gossiping, and serving community realness. Later in the afternoon, families come to take over the picnic tables and start their BBQs. In the evening, you'll find a truly diverse group of folks doing outdoor activities, with a lot of Latinx folks taking over the volleyball court with games. What I love about this park is that is has never once felt dodgy or unsafe. There is usually someone else around and you can meet some really lovely neighbors passing the day here. Come drop by for a walk, catch up with family or a friend (safely), and enjoy.

I'd recommend this park to any parents looking for a change of scenery to their current parks.
