The entire gym is super clean and the temperature inside on a hot summer evening wasn't bad at all considering the minimal ventilation required to keep the birdies from flying around. With that, I was also pleasantly surprised that there was no musty sweat smell inside! Reservations are available on their website for a decent price. There are also a lot of desktops available for reserving courts (45 minutes per group). Overall, I would definitely recommend this gym and will be back sometime in the future!

Bintang has quickly become my go‑to spot for badminton. The new gym is spacious, clean, and…read moreimpressively well‑run. Even on a Friday night, there are plenty of courts available, which is a rare find around here. I've also noticed they've added pickleball recently, which is a great bonus. Now I can play both sports in the same place without dealing with long waits. The admission fee is only $17--definitely a better deal compared to the $20 that competitors charge. Between the price, the number of courts, and the variety of activities, Bintang is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to play badminton or pickleball in a comfortable, well‑maintained facility.

I'd like to give a huge shout out to Nicole and Minh, swimming instructors and management team, for…read moredoing such a great job teaching our son and my niece on how to swim. They are patient with children and have excellent skills in displaying examples on how to float, blow bubbles, using arms and legs, etc. they are both true professionals! Our children are super comfortable with both employees which is vital because without this trust, it would be harder to learn and communicate anything. We can tell our kids are going to learn quick with the way both Nicole and Minh are coaching; just the right tone in gaining new skills each day. It's not overwhelming for our kids whatsoever. We're so happy we chose this facility and team to guide our kids in learning how to swim. I highly recommend families coming here to enroll their young ones for a nice swimming session/plan. It's worth every penny! Thank you Minh and Nicole!

This is a nice little park in milpitas! I was looking for dog parks. Found this place because I…read moredidn't want to go too far or to Ed Levin (i don't like having cellular signal issues lol). Definitely meant for the surrounding neighborhoods. There are multiple entrances but are basically towards the end of each street. It seems dog friendly enough with a dog enclosure and easy to stroll around and walk your dog. There's a nice grassy area in the center and I noticed a few instances of owners playing catch with their dogs off-leash. There are picnic tables by the playground and public bathrooms all in the same area. The only water fountain I found was by the picnic/playground/bathroom area and it had a lower fountain for dogs. **Dog park: The dog area was really small, all dirt with one bench. Big dog and small dog are separated but the size is pretty similar to each other with the big dog having just a LITTLE bit more space. It was empty for me except for 1 dog owner but I wonder if there would be more dogs after-work hours for some socialization :-) you would have to walk a little but further down to the main area for water fountain.

This is a hidden gem of a park in a quiet neighborhood in Milpitas. We were looking for local parks…read morethat were suitable for a toddler play date and decided to check out this place in person. We wanted to find a park that is relatively new/in good condition and not too crowded to let the little ones safely play. I'm honestly surprised that this isn't a more popular place to bring your kids. I suppose a part of it is because it is a neighborhood park without dedicated parking, although there is plenty of street parking. With that being said, the play area is gated so it is safe to let your children roam with supervision, the play structures are all in very good condition and the padded flooring is intact across the park. Very suitable for toddlers and older children, they even have a baby changing station inside of the bathroom, as well as adequate drinking fountains and drinking fountains for dogs. We were there on a Saturday morning, from 9 to 10am and were the only family there the entire time. This is completely different compared to some of the other parks in Sunnyvale or San Jose, where it can become a zoo by that time. We will definitely be setting up future play dates here.

This is a total waste of money and time. The group lessons are 30mins with around four to five…read morekids. Class usually begin couple minutes late and end couple minutes early. So each kid only learns for about 5 minutes. The coach is not even teaching anything. She just hold the kid in the water and let them free kick one by one. For the rest of the time they just stand on the stairs and shake in the cold air. The water is also extremely muddy and dirty. They don't take any kind of cleaning procedures. People can wear their sneakers and other shoes from outside into the pool area and you can imagine the water gets very dirty. Oh remember when you sign up, they don't put a end date on the lesson, so they can automatically bill you every month. If you want to cancel, you can only get 50% refund for the following month. DO MOT RECOMMEND!!

They do not rush the kids and have a very gentle way of getting them to learn to love swimming, which is exactly what my family was looking for. We stayed with him during the class just a few feet away and found this was helpful when we first were building the courage to swim. But now our presence is unnecessary. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Swimming pools were mostly heated/warm/grand/much larger in size than expected. Indoors and outdoors looked great. I'm impressed with this company/gym brand. They take pride in what they do here. Yes, it's not cheap for monthly membership, but there's good value here. Two story building. Membership representative is helpful and resourceful. You can find all kinds of classes and exercise activities upstairs. Loved the cycling/spinning room with large screen too. Amazing place. For an extra $50 per month on top of membership fees, the Recovery area looks most attractive/my favorite. Cryolounge, compression therapy, float therapy, red light therapy, cold therapy, and more! Perfect sauna inside and all the machines are high tech/new/clean/well managed. Not bad for not having to drive elsewhere for recovery services. Women's locker room toilets need better cleaning/managing. It was a mess inside during morning hours. Overall, locker room looks fantastic and very functional. Kids area is separate. So far so good. Great impression, other than the high fees/costs and 30 days advance membership cancellation notice may keep people wondering. They only accept month to month payments. Great place not far from foods/restaurants/walkable. Looks like a fun place to workout.

There are far too many managers at this place, and unfortunately, they don't seem to communicate…read morewith each other. One employee tells you one thing, another tells you something completely different, and no one takes responsibility when the information turns out to be wrong. This has happened to us several times, but today was the final straw. We are a family of four--two adults, an older child, and a baby. We've brought our baby to the pool several times without any issues. Then one day, we were suddenly stopped at the front desk and told the baby needed to be registered. That was completely reasonable, and we had no problem doing it. The problem was how it was handled. Our older child had already gone through the gate, while my husband had to come back because the baby and I weren't allowed in. We asked if we could at least go get our child first, but we were told no--we had to complete the registration before anyone could enter. Our family was split up, and our young child was left inside by herself. It was an incredibly stressful and unnecessary situation. We spent about 20 minutes filling out paperwork while standing there with a baby in a stroller. The employee repeatedly assured us that everything was taken care of and that we would never have to do it again. Two weeks later, we were stopped again. This time we were told that what we had completed wasn't even a registration--it was just a guest form. In other words, we had wasted 20 minutes because an employee gave us incorrect information, and now we were expected to start the entire process over again. No apology, no accountability, just more inconvenience for us. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how they're handled. At this facility, the burden always seems to fall on the customer, even when the mistake was entirely theirs. That was enough for us. We decided to cancel our membership and switch to the YMCA instead. We value businesses that respect their customers' time and take responsibility when they make mistakes. Unfortunately, this place has shown us neither.

Rock the Block Alum…read moreRock Park is what many, myself included, consider to be *the* crown jewel of CSJ parks, and it's easy to see why. From the vast 730-acres of green space includes thirteen miles of trails that run the gamet of flat sojourns, to steep hikes to Eagle Rock. It's also California's oldest Muni park (1872) but has always served as land since 1777 when the Pueblo was established. The Good: *Variety of trails, as mentioned above, and they're mostly shaded. *Lots of history here as there's remnants of an old train trestle that used to run visitors up to a health spa of sorts. There's still remnants of the spa as you can see--and smell thanks to the sulfur springs. *Trails also connect to adjoining Sierra Vista OSP, and is part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. *Sand volleyball courts *Playground *Reservable and non-reservable picnic tables *Restrooms *Six miles of Horse trails *Three miles of Bikes trails *Home to the YSi (Youth Science Institute), which I highly recommend to parents. They have a bunch of summer camps that are great ways to get kids to love nature. The Meh: *No dogs allowed *Lots of poison oak *Parking costs $6 *Cell service is spotty, at best. The Ugly: *Budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts... Thanks to the lack of caring by our leaders for our parks, this place is not as great as it once was. As there's several entrances that have been closed off for nearly thirty years! *I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. As the (unofficial) Mr San José I find it very shameful and shall self-flagellate immediately. Conclusion: Not as great as it used to be, but still pretty damn amazing.
