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.

Facility Rentals

Corporate Events, Weddings, Birthdays, Memorials, Classes, Dinners, and Meetings of all types

SMRPD opens its facilities to rentals for 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. Links to the application forms as well as information about rental costs are on this page below the facility photos. Applications MUST BE APPROVED by the SMRPD Board of Directors in an open session public meeting (every 3rd Tuesday of the month); please plan ahead to allow time for this approval process.

Rental Rates Are As Follows:

Canyon Residents

Public Events
No charge will be made for using the Silverado or Modjeska Community Centers for events open to the public. However, the Park Board may request a donation to cover utilities and other costs.

Private Events
Charges are for four hours. A $200 per hour penalty fee will be charged for any renters that show up before or stays up beyond their allocated time frame, including clean up. Fee will be deducted from deposit. For events that exceed 8 hours and/or include music or PA the Use Application for Wedding or Large Special Event is required.

Insurance Requirements 
Unless specifically waived, liability insurance is required holding SMRPD harmless for all events. This may be purchased through SMRPD or through an outside insurer, or a certificate of insurance (COI) may be available -- often at no or minimal charge -- as an add-on to the sponsor's homeowner's or renter's insurance (the COI must include an endorsement specifically naming SMRPD additional insured). Events that serve alcohol or that include activities like a bounce house may require additional coverage; please inquire.
