The Silverado Modjeska Recreation and Park District (SMRPD) is a local government special district established by the Orange County Board of Supervisors in 1961. It operates two parks, two community centers, and a children's center to provide a well-rounded, wholesome program of recreation and leisure time activities for residents of the County's canyon areas, which includes Silverado, Ladd, Black Star, Williams and Modjeska canyons.
Facility Rentals
SMRPD opens its facilities to rentals from canyon and non-canyon residents. Buildings can be rented individually or together; parks can also be rented. All renters must complete a Facilities Use Application.

Wedding Venue
The canyons are an ideal spot for a wedding. In our lovely wood gazebo, a couple can make their vows while hundreds of guests sit cradled by a ring of stunning mountains. Festivities are easy with a large outdoor dance area, stage and full kitchen.
Recreation Programs
SMRPD offers a year-round recreation program with summer evening concerts and movies in the parks, mountain bike rides, walking hikes, wildflower hikes, yoga classes, and special events.
Hikes, Rides & Trails
Outdoor recreation represents one of the greatest gifts of the canyons and thousands of people each year enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, and driving through its mountains.
