If you write him on a Monday he won't respond until Friday and vaguely at that. He was so hard to contact. He made the preparation process very difficult and added more stress. When we had a one on one in person, this man showed no interest while presenting the hall. He seemed like he had better things to do. No politeness, no smiling whatsoever, no kindness. Rushed us through the layout options, we emailed him two weeks before the wedding the finalized layout and he didn't respond until the night before the wedding. After telling us he would work with us due to the time he still didn't have the right set up on the day of. My husband fixed it the day of. Terrible customer service on his part. We had a slideshow, requested his assistance and never returned with the wire for the slideshow to play on the projector. You shouldn't be working for a community center if you're not helpful to your community. Rude. Disgustingly distasteful with your communication. The space itself earned the two stars, that guy Matthew ruined my wedding prep. Super annoying. I wouldn't treat people that way.

No concessions were available during this comedy show, however food and drinks were offered the last time we were here for the musical performance of Little Shop of Horrors. Though there are various elements to the community center that visitors can take advantage of and appreciate, such as the sports center and lovely pond, the place as a whole doesn't really stand out to me in any way. The theater specifically is very basic. And for both events we've attended here, doors opened at the last minute and the shows started late. The productions and performers have been great though. I especially enjoyed Samson Koletkar's lessons on conflicting proverbs. That certainly got some laughs out of me over the weekend.

These include music and dancing courses, art classes, fitness, and cooking. The Los Altos senior program is also hosted here. I walk these grounds almost every day. If your thing is walking, it's close to downtown, you just have to cross the San Antonio Rd. Best way is to cross at the intersection where Enchanté Boutique Hotel now stands. Or you can park by the library, and walk around to see it all. I have reviews for many of the individual listings described below. This complex is an 8.3 acre site, which consists of the following facilities surrounding the Los Altos library: - The administrative offices of the Recreation & Community Services Department - Little League baseball diamond - The "Whistlestop" children's playground near it - The parcourse exercise equipment - A soccer field that is, essentially, the Hillview Park (please see a separate review) - Los Altos History Museum - Gilbert Smith History House - Bus Barn Theater, or Los Altos Stage Company There are multiple facilities that are available for rentals, like celebrations, social gatherings, and kids birthdays: two bocce ball courts, a multi-purpose room with kitchen, and several classrooms and meeting rooms. These are mostly older facilities, and at the same time, they exude a certain old country charm and are full of history.

It's like they read my mind, because it's currently closed so that they can renovate the place!!

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.

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.

It's difficult to review a community theater, rather than an individual performance but I will give…read moreit a shot... In background, I've probably seen a dozen shows here over the last 8 years. They've ranged from classics to experimental and from dramas to musicals. While the shows obviously vary in quality, I've always enjoyed them and been impressed by the acting. Compared to other community theater I've been to, this is a notch above. The building itself has an intimate and historical feel. It was built in 1934 in a Mediterranean style. The seating is a bit worn and may be cramped if you're a larger person but the acoustics are great and the sight lines are good from everywhere. There's not a bad seat in the house. There are snacks and drinks for intermission and, as has become increasingly common, you can pre-order. The bathrooms are in the building next door but it's a very short walk. All in all, a charming little theater with good plays.

At 6:00 a.m., we were woken by extremely loud, continuous banging from the JCC field--noise intense enough to sound like someone breaking down our door. Although the JCC was contacted, and has been contact multiple times before, the disturbance pattern continues. This behavior has occurred multiple times and reflects a clear repeated offense, not an isolated incident. For a facility operating in a residential neighborhood, this level of disregard for city noise ordinances and neighboring residents is unacceptable. The JCC has demonstrated an ongoing failure to manage its activities responsibly. It is rude and against the law according to Palo Alto Police.

It is a nice spot to get in a good match, practice for an hour, or just enjoy being active outdoors. What I liked most was the overall atmosphere. The courts felt well kept, and the setting made it easy to relax and have fun at the same time. We even ended up getting creative after playing and made a little tennis ball pyramid on the court, which made the visit even more memorable. Overall, this is a great local place for tennis if you want a casual, sunny, and enjoyable court to play on in Campbell.

This is mostly a track review but there's also a skate park and other fields where you can get some physical activity in. All in all it's a great place to get a little exercise in or even just get a walk in and some sun.
