The Dougherty Station Community Center, one of San Ramon's best-kept secrets, is located in the Dougherty Valley neighborhood of the city. San Ramon's rolling hills can be seen in the distance from this property. The extensive range of services and activities available at this Community Center distinguishes it from the competition. The Dougherty Station Community Center has something for everyone, from the iconic Ridge View Room and Front Row Theater to the Instructional Kitchen, Dance Studio, and several Meeting Rooms. It is truly a one-stop shop for the entire community. ROOM WITH A VIEW OF THE RIDGE The Ridge View Room, as its name suggests, is a multipurpose space that can accommodate any occasion or celebration. Your colors and theme will stand out against the backdrop of floor to ceiling windows and gentle earth tones. When you include in the 25-foot vaulted ceilings and outdoor courtyard, you have a setting that your guests will remember for a long time. The first impressions don't stop there, either — your caterer will be blown away by our large kitchen. Your caterer won't want to leave because there's plenty of space for cooking, meal prep, and even an unplanned dance party if that's on the program. You won't be disappointed if you choose the Ridge View Room for your next event or gathering. MEETING ROOM FOR THE NORTH AND SOUTH South Meeting Room and North Meeting Room are combined into a single large meeting space on the second level, which is located on the north side of the building. The space is equipped with built-in worktops and sinks, making it simple to bring in a quick breakfast or a big meal. MEETING ROOM IN THE NORTH Despite the fact that this medium-sized conference space is only half the size of the North/South Meeting Room, wonderful things come in tiny packages. The North Meeting Room, which has all of the same amenities as the South Meeting Room, may be exactly what you're searching for. MEETING ROOM IN THE SOUTH The South Meeting Room, which is the other half of the North/South Meeting Room, is versatile and provides everything you'll need in a meeting space for your next gathering. MEETING ROOM IN THE WEST The West Meeting Room makes it simpler to sit through those lengthy meetings. The accommodation, which is directly adjacent to the observation deck, is flooded with natural light. The counter built into the back of the room provides enough of area for meeting handouts as well as some delectable food and refreshments.

In the 53 room mansion, the Hearst's reputation for throwing a grand party was certainly upheld. Local businessmen bought the land in 1924, and the mansion served as the clubhouse for the original Castlewood Country Club. The name was chosen because it matched Phoebe's home's wooded hills and castle like aspect. Private Events at The Club at Castlewood: There is no such thing as a huge plan or a little gathering.

Mezzaluna serves southern Italian cuisine with a California twist, using only the finest meats, fish, and fruit, much of which is sourced locally.
