Many Bay Area towns have a community center...but not Los Gatos. ​Fortunately this is changing.
​​
A dedicated team of Los Gatos residents has launched a campaign to bring a new center to our town.
​​
Just last year we launched a survey, held multiple workshops, and promoted the idea of a community center in the news, online, and in front of our town council. We ended the year with a plan, based on community input, for a 29,000 square foot center that meets the needs of Los Gatos (scroll down to read the plan).
​​​​
Our center will have spaces for activities, programs and events for all ages, plus a dedicated space for seniors. Town residents, local and regional organizations, nonprofits, service clubs, and charities will all benefit.

LIMITED enrollment in LGS Recreation classes
-
SHORTAGE of disaster assembly locations
​

BUSINESS organizations can't hold events

LACK of spaces for teens to go after school​
-
CHARITIES don't have a place to operate

Many more!

Phase 2 Community Design Workshop Draws A Crowd
A phase 2 community center design event was held on October 14 at the Masonic Lodge in Los Gatos. The workshop's purpose was to engage the community in planning spaces and functions for a new Los Gatos community center. This workshop was a follow-on to a phase 1 workshop held earlier in the year.
​​​
The large and enthusiastic group of attendees reviewed community needs research, commented on the draft requirements list, and evaluated the pros and cons of various location possibilities for the center. Attendee comments will be incorporated into plans for the center.

We would like to thank all those who attended. Your input is invaluable!
