Lodge #0522 operates as a full-service private club with a lineup that goes well beyond a meeting room and a parking lot. The centerpiece is the competition-length pool and surrounding deck, available to members and sponsored guests for recreational swims, family gatherings, and organized aquatic events. A dedicated gym rounds out the fitness side of the campus.
The dining room serves meals that members consistently praise, making it a legitimate dinner destination rather than an afterthought. For private events, the lodge offers multiple rental halls, including a smaller, intimate space that works beautifully for showers, milestone birthdays, and corporate socials. The event coordination team handles logistics so hosts can actually enjoy their own party.
Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks also connects you to a national network of charitable programs, scholarship opportunities, and veteran support initiatives. San Jose's chapter is active in all of them, giving members a way to give back to the South Bay community that extends well past the pool deck.
