Seven Trees Community Center

A small little community center with a gym, auditorium, and places to sit and study. I came here for a Hmong New Years Event. The only thing was the parking is shared with the library so it’s a little crazy during events like this. Good thing they have another nearby overflow lot. What I did appreciate was the playground made from the trees. They upcycled trees!

Great place to catch an exercise class and go to the library

Awesome place, great staff and best of all clean environment. I commute a ton and some of the areas I go to are sometimes are very dirty. I especially enjoy the fitness area they staff is always helpful and attentive.

About half of the staff is lousy and uncaring. Everything else is okay.

So I went here on 6÷29÷14 A very Hot Hot Day Outside… So Picture this My Daughter whom is 10 and Me walking about 2 blocks to Go play Basketball at Seven Trees Community Fitness Center inside because we have a Flyer advertising Open Gym for Basketball 12−2pm Mon we walk in the HOT HOT SUN we get to the Front Desk… I say «Hello I would like to Sign us in and Pay the $ 2.50 Each for Drop in Open Basketball Clinic» Woman At the Desk says «Oh no we cant Allow you to play because your Daughter is 10 and not 14» she Says «But you can Come At 3pm and sign her up for our Teen Center and she can Play at that time» At that point I blankly stared at her and said «Um I Was told about 6 months ago she isn’t old enough for Teen Center because she isnt 14 «She Says «Oh well our Rules sometimes allow for Exceptions I think the youngest child we have in there now is 12» So I felt Like Arguing but I told myself No Keep Your Composure and then She says «Oh just a heads up There are Courts outside» I said «Thanks I’m aware of it» I’m thinking in my mind NOW REALLY! HOW SILLY IS DAT!!! ITS 12 noon 93 Degrees outside and Humidity is 40% AND SHE WANTS US TO HAVE A HEAT STROKE OUT THERE MEANWHILE THEY LET PRE TEENS IN TEEN CLUB AND WE ALL KNOW THERE IS NO PARENTALS THERE… SO we proceed to Court outside Where I shoot Maybe 7 shots and My daughter shoots 3 and then she goes and sits on court in tiny shade so then I join her and I start calling all over town Gyms and all seeing Whom has courts that Allow children it was Literally Saddest day of my life! and I mean now I know where the song (Basketball Jones) From Space Jam Comes From.
Other then that I have been to concerts at this community center and I love the atmosphere and I have played Bingo here a few Times on a Friday and I have Attended Sunday Church here as well and I enjoy the Experience Over all I mean Seven Trees needed this Back in 2000 – 2004 but I am thankful it is in the Community now.

This is a popular community center. It’s pretty new, one of the nicest community center in San Jose. It has a gym and a nice basketball court. Real hardwood from Sonoma State. You do need a gym membership, look for summer deals if you want to join. Plenty of parking which is great. Parking lot can get busy in the morning because people use it to get onto Capital Expressway.

This is a really beautiful addition to the area. The library is big and well-​organized, and I’d been going to the gym and doing zumba before they finally reopened the library part. There was one reeeeally awkward time where they just cancelled belly dancing (they got a new coordinator and the new schedule didn’t have the class on it) without telling the teacher. We all showed up and did the class, and the teacher said she’d sort it out, but the class never showed up again on the schedule and when I called to ask, they said the coordinator would call me back but he didn’t. I didn’t like that the class was handled like that, especially since they apparently didn’t say anything to the teacher.
My biggest complaint here is that a lot of parents don’t watch their kids. Often, children are running around or pushing in front of people all the time. I’ve literally been shoved by kids multiple times here, with no «sorry» or «excuse me.» Even if the parent is with the child, they don’t say «say excuse me,» they just let their kid shove in front. The most I’ve seen in disciplin is the workers lamely calling after the kids, saing, «No running please…» but the kids just keep running. This is a library, there’s a playground outside if your kid wants to run. Don’t expect other people to watch your kid for you, and for the safety of your own child, you should be keeping an eye on them at all times. As a substitute teacher and glee instructor, I beg everyone to remember that predators are out there. You can’t let your kid run free assuming that a library is safe, or that it’s the worker’s job/​a stranger’s job to watch your child.

I am excited about having the library back open and all the new services that are being offered. They have a Family Learning Center now that has various programs to help you learn to use a computer, English as a Second Language, Citizenship classes and more. Three times the space and amount of computers. I love the ambience and the windows for all the natural lighting. It is a great place to study and they have a silent room. The marketplace has the latest books and an awesome media section where you can rent DVDs for free for three weeks. Let’s see Redbox compete with that :)

I’ve been to Seven trees Library since I was in elementary school. When it had to be rebuilt I started going to Tully Library. Finally in 2013, it opened and my boyfriend and I went on the first day it opened to check it out.
FIRST IMPRESSION: The outside looks so trendy and modern. There are tennis courts and a parking lot. There is a RETURNS section for the library outside. When you first enter the building, there are different hallways leading to different things. One leads to the library (upstairs), another leads to meeting rooms, and another leads to the fitness area. There are tables and chairs when you first enter where you can do your homework or chill.
MEETING ROOMS: Looks very nice and comfortable. Apparently you have to request the room before you can use it. And according to other reviews, the staff members are not very friendly with the meeting rooms.
FITNESS WING: The small weight room is very small! There are a few cardio machines and some weights. Nothing special. The basketball area seems really big though! Looks like a private elementary school gym. There is a dance room where zumba and yoga classes takes place.
LIBRARY: I don’t really like it how it is upstairs, but whatever. The new library looks very new and there are still some empty bookshelves that are waiting to be filled. The teens room looks nice! There are also rooms for study.
OTHER ROOMS: There is another room on the right when you first enter. It seems like a big room for performances or large gatherings/​parties. There is also a small side for a book sale/​donation.
WHY I RATE 2 STARS: 1) I personally dislike libraries that are integrated to a community center. I really dislike how Seven Trees also have a gym and meeting rooms now. I like libraries that are only libraries. 2) I do not like how the library is open from Wednesdays to Saturdays and the hours are so short. ¹⁰⁄₁₁ AM to 6 PM. WTF? This library is so close to my house yet I can’t use it to study because it closes early. 3) Library is upstairs.
I’m glad that the Seven Trees Library is finally done but it is not what I expected it to be. I like how libraries are only libraries. NOT integrated into a community center. Sigh.

Worst community center ever. I work for a nonprofit organization and was looking to rent facilties. Not only did I get horrible service, they are extremely unjust in determining what is considered an event. Don’t rent there!!!

This is a beautiful community center in the middle of a so-​so neighborhood. It’s a shiny gem amongst its surroundings. My kids took a cooking camp last summer and enjoyed the use of its kitchen classroom. They also offer exercise classes and a gym. The library will be opening soon so I’m excited to be able to finally use it.

A great community center with exceptional staff that are super friendly and courteous. They have a great facility and with the library opening up its only gonna get better.

I go here almost everyday to play basketball in the morning with friends and sometimes in the afternoon, the courts nice and everything. The facilities are clean. I enjoy it here but I’m giving it a low rating because some of the staff members can be a**holes. And the basketballs they provide here suck! They’re all lopsided to big and what not. There’s a supply room with all the balls and you literally see new balls that my friends and I usually grab when they’re not looking. It’s like you guys have these new basketballs that you can lend out to the people who are paying to play here but you choose to just store them away in boxes when your staff members even say the balls suck! C’mon man.

This place is newly renovated and I gotta say is that they did a great job. The place looks clean and very well organized. Thank god they re-​did the entrance off capitol expwy. I play basketball here, the court is kept clean which is very good. Only gripe is they should have promotions more often to become a member because it is pricey to become a member

My friend has been asking to play tennis for awhile now. So, naturally, after being damn persistent, I told her I’ll play with her. Granted and her knowing that I havn’t played for couple years now, we still headed to these courts. We bought our rackets, balls, and water. I heard from my friend that this community center is newly renovated. The library hasn’t opened yet, but nearby there’s a park, basketball and tennis courts. I think about 4 – 6 games could be going at once for tennis. When we got there in the afternoon, the courts was empty. We played a few games and practiced hitting the balls. We had a blast… maybe play again next weekend? All I know, I need a bit more practice… lol…but, at least I know I can hit some balls and that I don’t suck that badly… haha.

Beautiful new rebuilt tennis courts, with lights and outlets. There are four courts, separated into two sides of two courts each. During the summer the courts are dominated by the Viet crowd, mostly older folks who like to take their sweet time so you’ll be hard pressed to find a court during peak times (weekend mornings, weekday nights after work).
My friend and I came kinda late, around 9pm or so, and still waited about 20 mins to get a court. In the mean while, one of the dogs that a player had brought was wandering around, and peed on my friend’s bag! After that little annoying dog left, another guy came with his huge pit bull, which he tied to the fence, INSIDE the court while he played. Even though it was on the other side of our court, it kept barking incessantly and was freakin’ annoying! So yeah, minor distractions are a-​plenty on public courts, but these new courts are worth it, at least while they’re still in good shape.

I really hope more people start utilizing the INSIDE of this building. The tennis courts and basket ball courts are always hopping and in good condition. It is a shame some of the local idiots tag stuff up and make it less attractive for the actual users of the center. I really don’t understand this need to «tag» and make something «yours» when in fact you probably didn’t pay the taxes to build it… but I digress
The inside of the center has a great deal of wonderful things to use including the library. Local 7 Trees community meetings are held frequently here as well. There is also a First 5 satellite office here. Just overall, pretty awesome community center for an area that sorely needed it

Beatiful brand new communtiy center with a gym and other ammenities. I wanted to check out the library but was told it would not be open until the fall. So I walked over the the gym and it looked very nice and new of course. They have a special right now to join for $ 120.00 for the entire year, hey, that’s only TEN dollars a month! The drawback is that there is no pool and I’m not sure if there’s even a locker room since I didn’t see one and gave myself a self-​guided mini tour. I was there to play bingo in the cafeteria. They have bingo every Friday at 1:00 P.M. The buy-​in is from 7 to 17 dollars & the payouts are 75 to 99 dollars. The session usually lasts for two hours. I got some brochures and they offer classes for 50+ and youth groups, however, there were line through a lot of the classes so I’m guessing they are not available just yet since they are still a brand new facility.

This review is solely on on the community center, It just open last month and it is super duper nice. I have been going to seven trees community center and library all my life. It used to be so run down and scary looking. Now It looks so high tech and beautiful. The library is not open yet, but it will be opening very soon. They hold dancing classes, cooking classes, and many others. This community center is more design for the kids under 17 and seniors. They do not offer much classes for the adults, but they have the cleanest and nicest open gym. You can play anything from basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Their a specific time and day that each sports can be played. Me and my friends been here 3 times to play volleyball. We payed 5 dollars each person which is kind of pricey for 3 hours. It pricey because the area they are located in is a low income base area. It was so much fun that we didn’t mind the price. They also have a fitness center, there price to use the fitness equipment is very cheap it is like 120 something for a whole years which is pretty cheap. I probably will be going back here often to play on their tennis court or open gym.
