Facilities & Rentals | SMRPD Silverado Modjeska Recreation Parks District

Facilities

SMRPD maintains two parks and two community centers.

Silverado Park & Community Center. The community center is the site of the first schoolhouse in the canyon. In 1961, Orange Unified School District transferred the property to SMRPD. It consists of two buildings connected by a concrete deck. One has a large kitchen with a commercial stove. The Center is used for a variety of meetings, classes and activities. It is available for rent for private activities such as weddings, birthday parties, holiday dinners, homeschooling, and meetings. The Center sits in a one-acre park (or Fairgrounds) with a large grassy area, graceful trees, picnic tables, sitting benches, full-sized basketball court, racquetball walls, and playground. Lights are available for night activities.

Modjeska Community Center & Park. In 1947, a group of residents built a volunteer fire station in the heart of Modjeska Canyon. SMRPD took over the building in 1970 and converted it to a community center with a large meeting room and kitchen. Since then, the community has used the center for a number of activities and rented it for wedding receptions. Across the street from the Community Center, the two-acre park consists of a lighted basketball area, large expanse of grass, picnic tables, playground and native plant garden. A small trail leads to a gazebo with stunning canyon views.

Both parks are open to canyon and non-canyon residents for non-exclusive use consistent with a family-oriented environment. SMRPD requests that groups of 20 or more coordinate any scheduled, public park use with SMRPD to avoid conflicts with reserved events. If you are planning on having an event with 20 or more people, please contact [email protected] to ensure availability.
