Early march is a good time to visit, go to the back of the building for parking and to enjoy the flowers blooming. There's a small park behind it, nothing fancy, it's a small neighborhood center. read more

Cupertino Quinlan Community Center - Public Services & Government Near Me - Cupertino, California

See all

I dont know much ( about this Center) except Dad want come here back when they had Japanese Blossom festivity. Indoor area was huge but I got a little bored with the music. When I went outside there was impressive amount of Food Vendors ( the way it should be) so it was interesting ( the Japan Cherry Blossom in May??? I forgot). The thing is we were late ( this time) for July 4th. Celebration. There was some kind of Pancake Breakfast (Optomst Club?) but way too expensive...offer Pancake, Sausage, fruit cup, Coffee,Hot Choco for $ 15 dollars? $ 3 OJ. Since Mom is Diabetic & Dad has cancer, Dad & I decide that $ 15 is too expensive for just Pancake/Sausage. I was still curious if other people showed up, as in Cupertino $ 15 is cheap. So I was curious what other people had to say about the Breakfast July 4th. I also saw huge line for kids event. Of kids throwing DartBoard (not real darts) but it would be nice for someone to show Kids how to Throw it as most kids missed it ( maybe next yr, I will volunteer as it would be nice for someone to show kids how to throw the plastic thing to not miss the Dartboard even tho it was not real Darts) The thing that was disappointing ( only to me) is that on 4th of July it would have been nice to see tons of Food Vendors ( because its a holiday when families go out to have fun & most Families willing to spend money on Vendors). Maybe because only Pancake breakfast..I dont know if that was huge success or not. But it would have been nice to see many Food Vendors out as it can promote small businesses...and Im sure if the Center offer to Vendors that they would pay the Community to be able to put their Food Business out on July 4th. i was wondering what other people think? I just think $ 15 is way too much to charge for just Pancake. Dad & I brought Mom to McDonalds and spent $ 20 for breakfast instead of spending $ 45 dollars for pancake/sausage which we cannot eat because Mom diabetic. And at McDonalds you get free refill on coffee so Dad & I shared. Anyways, the Music for the 4th of July was awesome. There was a really great, awesome band playing. We went near the end of the concert. They were playing really Good Rock & Roll music and other American Classic music. It was really Good the Music, concert & band with really good electrice guitar music. I think to make the July 4th perfect tho, it would be nice to see Food Vendors offering both lunch & breakfast. Thing like BBQ chicken or wings, or even Tacos. Or anything that the Communiy wants. Would be nice to see what type of Vendors come there. Just would be Fun to see....Offering a whole Variety on Food as there are not enough buffet Nor MultiCultural type food places to go. Dad is a huge food fanatic but he gets sick of overpriced Chinese ( his favorite). I keep telling Dad to see Mexican Food Trucks as they are cheaper than Most overpriced restaurants. Even Pho ( one of my favorite foods) is expensive in restaurants these days (I love Vietnamese food as it is one of my favorite, next to Mexican is my favorite but I lived in California back in 1990 when Mexican food used to be cheap...Now the prices have sky Rocket...the only cheap Taco restaurant is Los Dos Compadres near Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd & Prospect Rd ( DeAnza Blvd & Prospect Rd). Most of their Tacos are only 3.5 or maybe close to 3.75 by now and they give more meat than most Taco Trucks. Only one time their Carne Asada was less taste but majority of time, they have really good Taco and good Carne Asada. Only problem is they close at 3pm. Anyhow, it would be nice to see more Variety of Food ( not just Pancake). I wish other people would give their opinion too ( Because I value our country...Home of the Free !!!!!!!) read more

I highly enjoy all the activities hosted by the Cupertino quinlan community center. I have found it easy to sign up via reg4rec and appreciate how responsive they are to my emails & phone calls. However, I am frequently bummed that they need to cancel activities due to low enrollment. When this occurs @ the last minute, it can leave you in a lunch especially for childcare. Our most recent experience was less than stellar. Shrug. Overall the benefits outweigh the cancellations & I have never struggled with payment or receiving reimbursements. I hope you can convince more people to due the activities to avoid these cancellations! read more

There's a parking lot with plenty of space. The front door/hallway area has a kids corner with a rug and lots of building blocks and books so that is really nice. It was our first time there to go check out their mid autumn moon festival. It was well planned and not too crowded read more

We had a great experience to host a cultural festival there, Good place for family event

The best part of living in Cupertino is having the opportunity for Santa to visit you in your own home. We've been visited by Santa twice now. He remembered our child, played with him, and gave him some sage advice. This community center is very nice, their programs are fairly priced, and they are high quality. read more

Very nice facility. Very accommodating , great facility for events and rentals. It was a good place for us to volunteer. In good condition! It's a great place! read more

"The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected." ― Robert Frost I attended the Housing, Community & Longevity: Here Comes the Age Wave conference sponsored by the City of Cupertino and the Institute for Aging yesterday and like the subject matter, this facility is aging. Built in 1990, this Community center may have been innovative when it was built but now in the afternoon of its life span it is in need of remodeling. While it is located in a bucolic setting fronting a public park surrounded by mature trees, the facility itself is in need of an update. A sound system that made the presenters difficult to understand, a bathroom that while it had disabled access also had fixtures that were in need of replacing combined with an outmoded seating arrangement made this a less than ideal setting for this event. Parking is either on street for events or behind center in park. Hopefully the boatload of Apple money coming in to the City will allow the financing of a refurbishment and updating of this facility. Cupertino should have a world class Community Center to go along with its world class companies and outstanding school district. At least I enjoyed the turkey sandwiches but unfortunately was stuck with Sour Cream & Onion chips instead of my seatmate who received chile cheese Fritos! P.S. One interesting factoid from conference: 15% of the world's population by 2050 will be 65 and older. That's a lot of old people!!!! read more

Since I happen to work PT for the City of Cupertino, I might be biased. But anywho...I've been here for a few city related events. I like the building and how clean it is. If you are facing a window you get a nice view of the park outside. They offer a bunch of classes for the public, I'll never to get take one, but they look like a lot of fun. Along the walls there are art paintings for sale, most likely drawn by local students taking an art class. I think they have Christmas parties here and all kinds of public events. read more

QUINLAN COMMUNITY CENTER Happy 60th Birthday my sister's mother-in-law, Sumru Aral!!! Dinner was held in one of the conference rooms of the Quinlan Community Center in Cupertino, where the theme was ladybugs!!! Ladybugs here, ladybugs there, ladybugs everywhere! Jacklynn and I even created our own ladybug birthday gift! Dinner was catered by Gyros House - the Turkish food was delicious!!! Oz's slideshow of his mother was priceless! Happy Birthday and to many more to come! The Quinlan Community Center was a wonderful place to host parties because the conference rooms were large and spacious. Next time I throw a big party, I wouldn't mind hosting it here! read more

I guess I need to adjust my expectations down when a business in City operated but it is still frustrating that so many of the staff at Quinlan are inept. It amazes me that they have operating hours until 10pm yet the people there after 5pm are snot nosed high school kids that know nothing. Why not make it clear that you can't get any reservations made for rooms after 5pm instead of telling me I can come until 10pm only to have a kid at the front desk tell me they don't know how to do it? read more

Are these people in the dark ages? Trying to book a meeting or an event is like pulling teeth! They refuse to fax or email anything (everything has to be IN person or over snail mail) and getting any answers is almost useless. It's a great space, I sure hope they can get up to speed with the rest of the world. Businesses are busy! We don't want to walk down there to fill out paper work! read more

We were looking for a venue to throw a first birthday party for 2 babies with a total of about 80 folks. We found the Quinlan community center off the website and booked the room immediately. Everything from the showing of the space to the checkout at the end of our event was very smooth. We used the Social Room and it was perfect for our party. Everyone commented on how nice the venue is, especially with the easy access to the outdoor courtyard and nearby playground to let all our kiddie guests burn off some energy. We would definitely use this venue again and highly recommend it. read more
