Its rear neighbor is the old city hall that is cracked in half and shifting in two different directions. I love this area for exploring the Hayward Fault. I don't know if this place would survive - its all concrete looking and fragile with age. I love to walk the fault and I walk it often. I hang around the little park next to the Dirty Bird Lounge and then I make my way toward the old city hall. Next I go past the card room and across the street and look at the senior retirement center that is right on the fault line. I think to myself, "if this ever shakes one day those senior citizens will wake up." Then I go to the back parking lot of the Indian Food restaurant. Favorite Indian. I like that place... very classy hostess who always dressed up to impress. Kid brother and Godfather and I used to go there often. That doesn't happen anymore. Too bad. In front there is some green space and lawn - I do think that needs a little help too. Veterans deserve a bit better since this is their memorial building. IDK what are we going to do about this? Maybe we can put a new coat of paint on this building one day. I do think that is what might help.

On the plus side, neither the one being feted nor many of the guests will mandate a party that runs more than a couple of hours and you can bet those hours will be daylight. Enter the Danville Community Center, where a close friend hosted a party for her mother's 90th. This is not the sort of space where food or drink is provided. If you want that you'll arrange for it separately, just as my friend did. She also self-managed a slide show, music, and a couple of group dances. The whole affair was perfect and the spacious, high-ceilinged room (with free on-site parking) was nicer than possibly any community center I've ever been to. While I'd not suggest the Danville Community Center to those who don't live in the East Bay if you do, and you're seeking an event venue, it is quite worth checking it out. Perhaps it might even inspire you to host an event.

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.

I dinged the rating 1 star because the parking is really horrible - it's street parking only. Given that the site is in a neighborhood the competition for space is fierce. Also, there isn't central air condition in the larger event room. That's not necessarily bad, but maybe it should be pointed out to the people renting so they can plan for their guests' comfort. A tour was available, but it was limited to the first floor only. Not a lot of ground to cover there. Lots of people participating in the tour commented on that. Then, again, it's a free tour. Hope to see more events in this venue.

Disappointing. Walnut Creek Recreation broke the CA "Honest…read morePricing Law" (SB478). Walnut Creek Rec sends out a catalogue every year for the camps they offer. There is pricing in these catalogues- just like the catalogues you receive for clothes or Costco or whatever you get- they list a price, the store needs to honor it. We get the catalogue, we have a budget, the kids are excited to pick their camps within that budget. I register the kids for camps. Usually there's no issue. But this year the price on the website for one of the camps was more than what was advertised. Walnut Creek Rec thinks it's OK to increase the price and write in the camp description that "the price is different in the catalogue". I registered my kids because I thought the "Community" Center would honor their original pricing, but no. The option I was told was, "We can unenroll your child if you don't like the new price." Even after I told them this was "bait and switch", this was still their only option offered. This is an audacious and patronizing response and doesn't hold anyone accountable. The difference is $16 or $17 dollars, so it's not like they messed up 1 number when typing out the catalogue. An employee from Walnut Creek Recreation signed off on the printing of this catalogue with specific prices. The lady I spoke with and her staff member claimed this was a printing error. This was not a printing error- at no point did the printer mess up. This is their error and someone needs to hold them accountable. The lady who called me confused "accountability" with "acknowledgment". If you're reading this- look it up. You claimed you were being "accountable" when the words "the price changed" were included in the camp description on the website. "Acknowledgment" (with no corrective action) means you know you messed up, you admit it, and you do nothing about it- like this situation. You shouldn't be in a job that has a direct impact on other people because you do not value the community you work for. "Accountability" means you understand you messed up and you do what you can to make the situation better. The person who does this knows and values the impact they have on their community.. they also value their community. This review is for the staff and the lack of respect they have for the law and their community, and the lack of understanding how their actions can negatively impact their community.
