Redwood Heights Recreation Center

We looked here for a wedding reception venue. This may have worked if we had decided to go with UC Botanical Gardens Redwood Grove for the ceremony. Honestly this place was much better than expected. Clean, plenty of room inside, really nice high ceilings, even a little patio area. Honestly, if we were on a bit tighter budget, this would have been a great find and we may have chosen it.
Only downside is the parking lot is very small.

Freebie Outdoor movies for the kids on warm summer nights — what’s not to love? Keep up the good work.

I had my daughters first birthday here at the picnic area in the back for $ 25/​hr. It was rented from 11−4pm. What I liked about the park is that it had a nice view of the Oakland hills, safe, and had a good community around it. The picnic area was up on a hill and had 4 tables, which were great for my party. You can only have 25 people up in the picnic area. Kids can also play in the swings and slides below.
Bill, the weekend manager, came up to my party and I in a loud voice as if I were in trouble. He didn’t bother to pull me aside to talk to me, but spoke in a really loud, demeaning way in front of my guests and I. Many of my guests thought we were in trouble. He was very disrespectiful in that he said that a large party who «paid ten times» as much as I did, would be driving in around 3pm and that my guests and I had to move our cars. He also kept asking me if anyone called to tell me there was a party and I specifically told him that nobody called me and informed me.
The whole day I was bothered by this man, Bill and decided to call him after the party and tell him how rude he was to my guests and I during my first daughter’s birthday party. I paid for this site by the hour and it doesn’t matter how much, but I deserved respect and so did my guests.
I called Bret, the manager, yesterday and he was understanding and did call Bill to let him know. I probably would not use this place again b/​c of so many restrictions. The picnic area was not even cleaned or maintained. I had to go there and wipe down all the tables and throw away trash on the ground. I think they should also put green grass up there because it was dead. Overall, it was pleasant.

The body ball aerobics class with Tauheedah is fantastic! A good tension killer and body charging hour plus in a great supportive and comfortable atmosphere. The 8-​class card is an incredible deal at $ 50.
I’d been to the rec center in the past for NCPC meetings and such but it was nice to visit the rec center in a different capacity. Clean, well-​maintained, and friendly atmosphere occupied with people of varying ages.
The parking lot is small but there’s ample street parking.

This is a nice little small park in the Oakland Hills. Every couple Fridays and Saturdays during Spring, Summer and Fall they will have movie nights. They also sell concessions such as hot dogs, popcorn (50 cents), hot cocoa (75 cents), small bag of chips (1 dollar), and noodle soups on those days. Always dress warm b/​c at night it gets pretty chilly. Fold able chairs are suggested.

We have been renting this center for that last 15 years. We cannot honestly think of any other place that not only has great service but when we do small parties of 150 or less then this is the place we always think of.
My dad recently turned 70 and we wanted him to have a great memory of his special day. We packed the place to the limit and barely under the fire code of 150. All 17 tables were full and my dad actually was the only 1 to be able to invite who he and my mommy wanted. My brother, Sister & me had no say so of who was coming and who wasn’t
This is located right off the Hwy 13 and Redwood Road Exit. It has a small playground for the kids to play as long as an adult looks over them. The Service here has always been great. We love the fact that they handle all of the city permits for beer, liquor and fire dept.. ect ect.
The fee is not bad. I think it’s like $ 75.00 per hour. We had the hall from 4 till Midnight. Dad deserves a 7k party, Don’t you think?
Yes we will continue to rent this hall.
