These photos of the San Geronimo Valley Gym and Youth Center were taken as the project progressed. Alten Construction has been doing an incredible job in very challenging conditions. Freezing mornings, rainstorms, and wind did not stop Alten’s crew in bringing our Community’s 30+-year dream of having our own facility to life!
Phase 1 was the rough structure.
The goal of Phase 2 is to have a watertight building.
Phase 3 is the finish phase where the interior of the building is to be completed. There is still money that needs to be raised for Phase 3 and we need as much volunteer support as possible. Big-ticket items that we need contributions for are the Gym
Phase 3 is the finish phase where the interior of the building is to be completed. There is still money that needs to be raised for Phase 3 and we need as much volunteer support as possible. Big-ticket items that we need contributions for are the Gym floor and the heating system.

The Gym:
The 5,800 square foot regulation gym will include a basket ball court and bleachers and is suited to all kinds of activities requiring a large space. During school hours, the Gym will be used for school based physical fitness, health, and athletics. After school it will be managed by the San Geronimo Valley Community Center for community use, including sports leagues, camps, recreation, and educational programs. In addition the space can be used for community meetings and celebrations.
The Youth Center:
At the front of the building, upstairs, the 1600 sq. ft. Youth Center will be made up of two rooms, one large and one small. It has been designed so that the two rooms can be opened up into one flexible space, able to be used for a wide range of activities. It overlooks the gym area, with a great bird's eye view of the action on the court! Downstairs will be bathrooms, storage and the office. The Youth Center will be a great place for kids to come together, plan activities (such as the popular middle school dances), get tutoring help and do homework, use computers, watch movies, engage in classes and just hang out together. The new space will allow the San Geronimo Valley Community Center to expand and enhance its current youth programming.
-A Full spectrum of athletics including children's and adult leagues, drop in basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, dodge ball and more!
-Dedicated Youth Center space for programs and activities
