    Donworth Hall was the perfect venue for my son's baptism and 1st birthday party. The facility is spacious, has a full kitchen, a bar area, restrooms, and A/V system. We were able to stage twelve 60" tables with seats, 3 buffet tables, and large soft-play area comfortably with extra space in front of the stage for games and activities. Working with Shay is super easy and she's very responsive to questions or requests. I highly recommend booking Donworth Hall for your next event.

    I recently had my 18th birthday party here on November 5, 2011. AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! IT IS HUGE! The bathrooms are very neat, nice kitchen, and has a lovely bar for refreshments. Perfect place to throw a party. It has a stage for the dj. The event coordinator was very kind and helpful. She always came by and asked us if we needed anything. Overall, I had a great time at that hall. I really recommend it!

    Five stars for this new event space in Daly City. It's always a pleasure working with Maria for our…read morefamily's balloon decor and dessert tables, now we can add this special space to our list. Booking the spot was easy. After I messaged Maria, she was quick to confirm that our date was available. (We booked 3 months in advance.) The booking and payment/deposit process was also straight forward. Really appreciate the easy process. As for the space, it can fit up to 50 people for a luncheon comfortably. One restroom; back room for extra tables and that's where our caterer stayed during our event. (Which btw I booked after seeing them featured on A Venue's Instagram post.) Maria and team had setup the tables, chairs, table covers and the balloon backdrop (extra charge) for us. The place was also so clean when we arrived! We booked this spot for a bday surprise family luncheon and it was perfect for our family! Can't wait to book again!

Save your $90 and just clean yourself. If i would've know i would've just cleaned up all by myself. The air conditioning does not work, i was told it took a while to work. all day i tried to get it to work my guest were sweating. The rental for small jump house is $150 that's half of the price of one, the least they can do is clean it or buy a new one. That thing was DIRTY. Very unpleased with the results, I could not wait to go home, my $1k+ rental was not worth it...

    My sister and I rented the Lake Merced Boathouse for our mother's celebration of life. I had been…read morethere several times before for events and a family member's engagement party. I think it is Park & Rec's nicest event space. The best part about this venue is the view of the lake, second - the ample parking and ease of getting in and out of the area. There is one large room for rent and an adjacent room that can be added for extra space. We rented both spaces and it was pretty affordable. With the cost of the rental, you get to use the tables and chairs. However, you are also responsible for your own set up and take down of everything at your event. So if you don't have a set up crew, you will need one. Make sure to allow extra time on your rental for this. In addition to the two rooms, there is an entrance hall that we set up with photos, flowers and sign in table. There are men's and women's restrooms and a catering kitchen with fridge, freezer, sink and ice maker. There are no ovens, microwaves or any heating appliances available. There is no wifi available, bring your own hot spot if needed. That being said, it was a beautiful event and on a sunny day, the sun glistens off the lake in a golden hue and just sets the scene for any event.

    We attended a large baby shower at this great venue. The large space had an expansive balcony and…read morelarge picture perfect windows with really great views of Lake Merced. The main room was recently renovated and could occupy 125 people. There was a caterer's kitchen set up area and well maintained bathrooms for the guests. Parking was ample and access to the freeway was easy. The space rented from the SF Parks and Rec Department so I was told that the price for the space given the views are reasonable. Definitely a good venue for the views, location and price.

I like that the pool is heated since it gets pretty cold in the area. The first 15 minutes is free time, then the rest of class consists of sing-along and additional activities. I thought an hour would be too long, but it goes by pretty quickly. One session isn't enough to teach them to swim, it's nice to get them acclimated to being in the water and getting their whole head wet. Especially when we don't know anyone that has a pool near us.

    Wonderful place to do swim lessons with your little one! I've done at last 3 Cuttlefish sessions…read morehere now with my daughter, which have been fantastic. You sign up for day of the week, and get a 1 hour swim lesson with other children around the same age (6 months - 6 years for Cuttlefish). The first 15 mins of the class are free time in the water, you can play with the various water toys. The next 15-20 mins is Karaoke in the Pool, with nursery rhymes in a circle time. The last 15-20 mins of the class are divided into age groups, with the youngest kids on one side, and older kids on the other. Some of the teachers are really wonderful, Mary is my favorite, as she has a passion and affinity for working with the little ones. All the teachers are great though in different ways. My daughter loves swim lessons here, even though the class week after week is the same thing lol. The classes are also inexpensive compared to Le Petite Balen. The makeup sessions are very flexible too - just be sure to call Monday morning at 10am the week you'll be needing a different day - and generally they're able to fit you in. Or even in my case, they couldn't, but said to call the following week to have me do the make-up, which was so kind. Parking is super easy here too, and conveniently located next to the Zoo and Sunset district.

    This is a lovely setting for a wedding. I know, because I came to a wedding reception here long…read morebefore I lived in San Francisco. Said wedding was fine except for some in-poor-taste snarkery that one particularly tall fellow was spilling within earshot of the people he was snarking (he had never met them before and was just spreading nasty rumors about them, because he was an imbecile). Sadly, the marriage whose beginning I celebrated here did not last, and even more sadly, the bride's sister, who was a year younger than me, has also passed away. Why am I mentioning all these rude and sad things? Because I associate them with that wedding and this place, even though nothing bad from that wedding should be associated with this place. I mean, it's not Trocadero Clubhouse's fault that the particularly tall fellow was an imbecile or that the then happy couple was mismatched from the start and destined for unhappiness with each other or that drug addiction is often tragic and deadly. Here's what to know: This is a lovely setting for a wedding. You can't get much better than the smell of redwood trees at your wedding reception.

    This is an update on my previous review after getting married here in November…read more Despite some of the cons(see previous review), it is completely worth it. Absolutely beautiful, staff onsite was friendly and willing to pitch in if needed even though that isn't included. There are extra tables onsite(some good size rectangular ones). Both the upstairs rooms have some chairs and there is a bathroom upstairs in the larger room(perfect for a getting ready room!). There is even a clothing rack in that room! The water damage is still very obvious from the redwood Grove where a lot of people will have their ceremonies. The hillside going up toward sloat is still barren and does not look good a a back drop. I would recommend having your ceremony in the east meadow(included with rental), it's so pretty and very spacious and more private. A lot of traffic goes through the redwood grove area. The lights in the main "dining room" have a dimmer which is nice! There is a restroom behind the bar in the main building as well as the public restrooms just outside on the deck.
