They have great monthly events there, like Pub Night, and their English Country Dances with local band Take A Dance. But it's also an amazing location to rent for personal use (weddings, birthday parties, and more!) The space is big and open, with handicap accessibility around the back side of the building. There is ample parking outside and now an electric car charging station. The playground equipment out back is a welcome addition too. Indoors, there is a great dance hall that has a nice stage with drapery and pretty good acoustics; Caspar boasts a separate dining hall and a huge, gorgeous kitchen... my favorite part is the bank of gorgeous windows overlooking the meadow outside. It's the perfect spot for placing your sweetheart table during a wedding dinner... or even for having your wedding reception in! (A wedding I was at this spring used that set up and it was fabulous!) The one thing about Caspar is that it books up fast and well in advance. So make sure you contact the office and book early if you want to use this lovely space!

I was impressed with the multitude of spaces available, the friendliness of the staff represented, and the acoustics, perfect for music. The location would be great for a dance or social, and effortlessly accommodated a huge crowd of multi-generational attendees. My only concern, and angst was the parking. We ended up leaving part way through to find dinner, and upon returning there was no parking anywhere, even on the street. This is a great problem to have, I think, because it proved the turnout and support of a community this dedicated, even in a small space. Regardless, we ended up parking 7 blocks down and walking, which proved to be a challenge once the event was over and was dark with no street lights. Overall quite the venue, and such a great asset to the City of Sebastopol!

They've significantly upgraded the facilities- there's a kitchen, the main area is spacious&bright, and there are clean public restrooms.

Interesting trivia- The thing that looks like a yellow fire hydrant in the parking lot is a capped geyser. An ordinary fate for an extraordinary natural feature.

I've been a loyal YMCA member for 24 years. I never expected the place I considered my fitness…read more"home" to become somewhere I feel unsafe. Another member whom I'd never met before, confronted me aggressively in the locker room--loud, intimidating, invasive, and completely unprovoked. But the real shock was the YMCA's response: almost nothing. Weeks passed before any meaningful action was taken, and even then it was a token gesture, not a solution. What makes this worse is learning that the same member targeted another Asian-American woman only weeks before me. Still, the YMCA brushed everything aside as if it wasn't serious. This is not about drama. It's about the YMCA failing to protect women in their facility. The lack of accountability and the dismissive attitude from leadership were honestly far more traumatizing than the incident itself. If you're considering joining--especially if you're a woman or a person of color--please read this as a warning.

More than just a showroom, it is an education center that has large meeting spaces and demonstration areas to inspire homeowners on how to incorporate the use of new technologies that can help reduce fossil fuel emissions in your home. Heat pumps, efficient water heaters, and induction ranges are all here to show the average person that such technologies are within reach and easy use, with a little introduction about the different devices. This space is also a customer center where the public can call regarding their SPC services. And of course, there is more than adequate parking. Drop by if you can, and see how you can learn more about clean energy! Thank you for making the space, Sonoma.Clean Power!!!
