Bernardo Heights Community Center

The gym needs more ellipticals and more space to do sit ups and push ups.

I am a homeowner in the community and our family uses the center. I will say that I am extremely disappointed in the fact that they selected spring/​early summer to re-​do their pool is poor form. In addition, they have no made any agreements with another local community center to allow their members to leverage during this 8 week closure. Although most of their members are retired and elderly they need to realize that younger families are moving into the area and pay to use their facilities.

If you are noise sensitive do not rent here. I live on the second floor and the third floor tenant above me is very active and I can hear his constant walking back and forth. The floors creak so it is that much worse.
Staff is nice although do not expect reply to your complaint e-​mail on the residents portal.
Maintenance after hours was excellent.

My daughter, who is a member of the Community Center, took me this weekend to enjoy a swim in the lap pool. It was awesome! The pool was beautiful and very clean. Their is an outdoor shower with HOT WATER! I thought that the outdoor area where people hold gatherings and parties looked nice too and in fact, a small group was having a BBQ.
The grounds are gorgeous and lushly landscaped. I was a little worried looking up at the dry hills that overlook the Community Center. One side had some ice plant covering the steep slope but the other hillside was dried out and full of combustive weeds. Because of the proximity of Rancho Bernardo to fire dangers, I would feel better if some mitigation was done to protect the grounds. I did not play tennis but the courts looked great. My daughter did tell me that in the summer, the place is crawling with kids running around. At the pool, there was a large group of very loud Asian teenagers playing rough but they stayed out of my swim lane so I cannot be too upset about it.
5 Unilocal STARS for Bernardo Heights Community Center!

Pretty nice area — my friend’s family had a birthday party here for their daughter over the weekend. The upstairs party/​meeting room is quite spacious and comfortable, and there’s a built in outdoor grill in the patio. The locker room is a tad small, though, and the wifi is password protected.
Granted, you have to be a member to partake in the various activities (the pool, jacuzzi, and various sports courts), but I don’t begrudge the members for this.

I come here to play tennis twice a week. The courts are kept in good shape. The locker room is really small but pretty clean. The people working at the front desk have been very helpful and friendly.
I know that the club has a lot more than just tennis courts, but that’s all I am familiar with.

So far my experience here was good. The 3 staff people that helped us were nice, funny and really easy going. We stopped by last night to get our membership cards and tour the place. The service was fast and easy. We walked around and saw the pool, spas, tennis courts, basketball courts, bbq areas, club house and recreational rooms. We are excited to take our kids here and we also like some of the programs they have to offer. Tennis and swim lessons, yoga, a book club, writing club, scrabble club etc. Can’t wait to visit again! Thanks!
