the San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley stakes. The center includes two chapels for sacrament meetings, an auditorium, a gymnasium, several classrooms, and offices. As of May 2021, the building is used by 14 congregations in languages of English, Spanish, Chinese, and Khmer. There is a Family History Center (FHC), an LDS Employment Center, an LDS Distribution Center, and the headquarters of the California Oakland–San Francisco Mission. In addition, a small memorial to the Brooklyn is located on the west side of the property. Visitors' center Adjacent to the temple is the visitors' center (opened 1992) which includes artwork, displays, and a reproduction of Thorvaldsen's Christus statue. Visitors can also learn about the temple, have questions answered, and learn more about the LDS Church. The visitors' center is staffed by volunteers, and open to the public. In 2004, the visitors' center was remodeled to better emphasize Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith's Restoration. Garden & pool The temple grounds are set on 18.1 acres and includes a long cascading waterfall, reflection pool, walled courtyard, fountains, and a roof-terrace garden. For many local photographers, the temple garden & pool are a hotspot for photoshoots, particularly for Catholic quinceañeras, as well as homecomings, proms, and weddings. The grounds are accented by flowers, palm trees, and a formal-style man-made river running from one fountain to the other. Christmas Every holiday season since 1978, the temple grounds are lit up with thousands of Christmas lights. It originally started with 50,000 multi-colored lights. By 1998, the Christmas display had grown to 500,000 lights that could be seen from the San Francisco Bay. Along with the lights, musical performances and dances are organized to celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. Auditorium The auditorium seats 1,600 people and has a stage. When more seating is needed, the auditorium can be extended into a large cultural hall that's large enough to fit two full-size basketball courts. The cultural hall was used years ago as a practice facility for the NBA's Golden State Warriors. The concert hall is home to the Temple Hill Symphony Orchestra, Temple Hill Choir, and the Temple Hill Dance Company. In addition, the concert hall hosts other musicians, singers, and performance groups. Besides the three resident organizations and the temple pageant, many Brigham Young University (BYU) performing arts groups have performed in the auditorium.
