University Club of Palo Alto

Mission Statement

The University Club of Palo Alto is an inclusive private recreational, social, and dining club that provides a relaxed and beautiful environment for our members to engage in activities such as tennis and pickleball, swimming, fitness, and social events typically centered around meals; all supported by a friendly and service oriented staff.


Vision Statement

At the University Club of Palo Alto, we strive to be our members’ second home. We foster a sense of community by providing a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful and serene space where members of all ages participate in recreational, social, and dining activities. Our members engage in activities that include tennis and pickleball, swimming, and fitness -- on their own, in organized programs, and as members of competitive teams.  Our members also engage in a variety of social and educational events that are typically centered around food and drinks.  We follow clearly defined short- and long-term plans for maintaining and improving our facilities, funded by careful attention to annual budgets and a steady stream of new members providing capital through initiation fees.  We envision the UCPA as the preferred option in our geographic area for families, couples, and single adults seeking a well-managed, welcoming, and inclusive private social and recreational club and the community and friendship it affords.
