Recreation Center

San José, CA

Project Description:

The social and recreational club is located in San José on the bank of the Guadalupe River, bordering the Alviso Slough. The new 65,000 square foot building will provide a place for community members of all age groups to gather, socialize, enjoy cultural programs, and hold special festivities such as anniversary, birthday, and wedding celebrations. The family-friendly environment of the club offers amenities such as a generous landscaped courtyard with a river view, a childcare center with an outdoor play area, a sunny café, a formal restaurant, a banquet hall, and an outdoor dining area overlooking the site. Sports facilities include a swimming pool, locker rooms, adult and youth gyms, and racquet courts. There are also meeting and multi-media rooms.

The building opens up to the sweeping views of the natural surroundings, with the swimming pool and courtyard oriented to the river. The Silicon Valley Club’s enhanced landscape will provide important linkages to the existing open space network in the community. The adjacent Bay Trail will integrate with the neighboring Guadalupe Trail and also connect to the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail. The project will provide public access to the walkways that look out on the Alviso Slough and Guadalupe River.
