We celebrated two events at this location - baby shower and bridal shower. They rent it by the hour - if you are a fremont resident you can get a discount. The actual building itself is a bit old, but you cannot beat the location. You open the patio doors and see the lake right in front of you. The building has chairs and tables provided. There are two restrooms (women's and men's) and a kitchen to prepare or store food. I love the fact that you can utilize both the inside are to store food and have places to sit and the outside area for games or just to enjoy the nice view and sun. Clean up - they require all trash and recycling to be removed and for the floors to be swept clean before you can leave. Parking: can get pretty tight. If you have an event - highly recommend to make it at 12 or earlier to help your guests get priority on parking spots. read more

We recently rented the Fremont Community Center for a baby shower this past weekend and it was a great space! Here's the breakdown: - the facility is a 2,000 square feet multi-purpose room that can accommodate about 110 people. - It has large kitchen in the back complete with stove, oven, microwave and large fridge. - it has a women's and men's restroom that is only available for your event (meaning, closed to the Lake-goers in the area). - rental of the facility includes 10 10x2 tables, as well as plenty of chairs. - there is a 6 hr minimum to rent (includes kitchen): $390 for Fremont residents, $510 for non-residents - each additional hour is $65 (resident) and $85 (non-resident) Pros: - booking was a breeze; I did my transactions online and correspondence via email and the contacts were very helpful and responsive! - the facility has lots of windows and overlooks a really great part of Lake Elizabeth. - close to the parking lot and easy to find. Cons: - building is quite old - parking lot can get packed by lunch time Other notes: - allow ample time for set up; the tables and chairs are not set up for you - soap and toilet paper is provided in the bathrooms; dishwashing liquid and surface cleaners however, are not...so bring your own - mops and brooms are located in the supply cabinet by the restrooms - you can serve beer, wine and champagne for a maximum of 4 hours Would book this again! read more

We threw a baby shower for my friend here since they had availability before she was about to pop! The price to rent it out was decent, however the space itself is not the greatest. It's really old and a little run down looking. But it was adequate space for a large party. There's also a kitchen and bathrooms in the center. They had about 10 or more tables that we were able to use for the food buffet, gifts, dessert bar, and seating. We had a sufficient enough space. The place has everything you need to throw a party, but it's not the most beautiful thing. It took a lot of decorations to spruce up the place! You really need a lot of decorations to transform the space. Luckily, this place provides you with a blank canvas. You can create whatever you like. Instead of spending more money on renting a place, you'd have to spend it on decor. There isn't too much parking, but there's more parking in the park area so it's not a major problem. read more

Fremont Community Center - Baby shower that we threw at the Fremont Community Center - Community Centers Near Me - Fremont, California

Recently used this community center for my cousins baby shower. It took 2 hours to completely turn this place around. I had 10 people set up tables and chairs, decorate it, and have everything ready. When you go in, nothing is done for you. And when you finish, you must spot mop, and empty all the garbage cans and throw trash in the dumpster(don't need to clean the restrooms). This place is okay, just needs a lot of decor. Also, bring in a scented spray because it has a weird smell(hence only 3 star). FYI: Some lake goers will try to come in and use the restrooms. I was pretty blunt and told them the community center was rented and it isn't open for the public. read more

Celebrated my son's first birthday party here. Everyone was impressed by the lake view and location. Kids enjoyed playing outside, doing bubbles..etc Availability of tables and chairs makes it further more convenient. Kitchen was also useful to store extras, fridge for the cake. Overall it's definitely worth the price. You are free to spend as much as you wish to, for decorating the hall as it is a clean slate. read more

It's not the greatest looking, updated hall but the price is definitely budget friendly for anyone that would like a venue to throw a party. As an Event Planner, this space is an awesome blank canvas that can be transformed any way you want. They have a great kitchen to use for staging, storage, food prep, etc. I think it's a plus that that back doors open to lake Elizabeth and your guests can enjoy the outside scenery, lake, and playgrounds. Look forward to organizing and attending another event here. read more

My boyfriend and I rented the FCC yesterday (01/12/2014) for a baby shower. We had 60 people in attendance however the venue holds up to 110 and the staff is friendly and helpful. The room is bright, there is private bathrooms, a full kitchen, chairs and tables (10 10'x2') are provided, and view is very nice. The price was the best in the area and even though the building is older it is very easy to decorate and the location is awesome. I only have a few complaints, my main one being the parking situation. Frankly, it sucks. There is no reserved parking, and considering were paying to be there, you'd think we'd at least be able to get a close spot to unload decorations! It was a winter afternoon and that place was STILL packed, I feel bad for anyone trying to park during the parks "busy" time.... My second complaint would be that there was no freezer, definitely would have come in handy but it didn't ruin my event by any means. Overall, I definitely recommend the Fremont Community Center and will keep it in mind for future events! read more

I was here yesterday for a birthday party and the hosts had rented this place for a few hours. The facility is quite big and I believe there's a restroom inside (I didn't see it nor did I use it but I was told there's one). There's a view of Lake Elizabeth from the back and a playground nearby. During the party, I walked back and forth to/from the playground with my kids and the distance wasn't too bad. I just mentioned the positives and here are the negatives...there are dried up bird poop on the chairs and a mirror on one side of the wall. Some people might like watching themselves eat, but that's just not me. In terms of decor, there isn't any. It's a blank space and it's up to you to decorate it. Parking spaces are available but limited. read more

We used this facility for a large group fundraiser. The kitchen is large, but of the 5 stove tops one of the 2 large ones doesn't work, which set us back in cooking. I do wish there were some more tables in there as well, there is exactly enough for 110 seated, but when you also want to have some tables for check-in, food service, etc, there is nothing available, so you'll need to bring something else. Overall, it was a nice upgrade from the Olive Hyde building we used last year, but loses a star for how old and run down it is. Pros: -Price -Location -Patio -Men's & Women's bathrooms which can fit more than just 1 person at a time. Cons: -Limited parking (especially since we need to drop off a lot for set up) - The building is very old, the fire alarm went off when our group walked inside, even though we weren't even near the fire alarm switch. read more

its kind of small so if you have a big family i suggest you not have it here it said it can accommodate to 110 but nope most of my family was standing. other than that the kitchen reeked from the previous party. read more
