The Bascom Community Center is a City of San Jose community center at 1000 S. Bascom Ave. that hosts Camp San Jose, a weeklong summer day camp for kids. Campers do games, sports, arts and crafts and songs, with a roughly 1:10 leader-to-child ratio; families send lunch, water and sunscreen daily. Sessions run week by week across the summer. It is a municipal, low-cost recreation program.

Overall, Bascom community Center is a very nice facility. The gym and the main community room are okay. However, the fitness center is far from what I would expect. There are several machines that are out of order and some other that are not working and they don't have a sign where it says that they are not working. The place is small but I can deal with that. But I mean you have a small space and on top of that several machines are not working so that's a letdown for me.
Great place with library, basketball courts, and cafe. Someone can spend the whole day there with reading, working, working out. I spotted a rainbow right next to it once day!
Dealing with the aftermath of accident was concerning, love the polite , friendly, compassionate about there work
Great center nice gym awesome library. Perfect for the community nicely located but the parking lot is on the small side. Really like the sculpture on the s side of the building. Audio recording of the hawk eating the pigeon is a bit off putting.
