Palmdale Senior Center

The following is general information regarding rental of the Palmdale Senior Center.

The senior center is available to rent for events with an expected attendance of fewer than 100 people. Quincinera events (15th birthday parties) are no longer permitted at the senior center. Please contact the Chimbole Cultural Center at 267-5656 which can accommodate larger events. Due to fire and crowd control regulations, occupancy maximums must be strictly enforced.
A Facility Use Application must be completed and the security deposit paid before a date will be reserved. Security deposits range from $313-$564 depending on the type and size of event. The recreation supervisor will determine the security deposit for your event. Once your application is approved and the deposit is paid, the facility will be reserved for the requested date. The deposit is fully refundable provided the facility is left in its original condition, there is no damage, and no items are missing.
The rental fee is due 30 days prior to the event. Failure to pay 30 days prior to the event could result in cancellation of the reservation. Rental rates are listed on the following page.
All events must conclude by 9 p.m. with clean-up completed by 10 p.m. If the event goes past 10 p.m. the applicant will be charged rent at twice the rate.
Applicants must submit a Certificate of Liability Insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence naming the City of Palmdale as additional insured at least two weeks prior to the event. The City will verify that the policy is active the day before the event. Please call the parks and recreation office at 267-5611 to purchase this insurance from the City, or contact your agent.
Depending on the type of event, the recreation supervisor may require the applicant to hire security guards. In this case, a copy of an agreement with a certified security agency must be submitted two weeks prior to the event.
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited unless prior approval has been obtained from the recreation supervisor. Under no circumstances will alcoholic beverages be permitted at an event that is honoring a minor. At no time can anyone under age 21 drink an alcoholic beverage in the facility or on the grounds. If a minor is observed drinking, the event will end immediately with no refund of the deposit. Sales of alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
Applicants are required to provide set-up, tear-down, and clean-up of the facility. A staff member will be available for assistance and applicants will be required to follow staff's instructions. There are 15 round tables that seat 8 people per table; several 6-foot and 8-foot tables; or the room may be set up theatre style using chairs. Staff will operate electricity, air conditioning/heating, and all appliances including steam tables, oven, etc. Tables or decorations must not block fire exits. Minimum lighting must be on at all times. The facility must be cleaned to the specifications of staff. Popcorn kernels, silly string, glitter and uncooked rice are not permitted. Spills must be cleaned up as they occur. All decorations are subject to approval of the recreation supervisor and the facility attendant. Please ask questions about decorations prior to the event.
The applicant is responsible for any damage done to the facility and repair/replacement charges will be deducted from the security deposit. The applicant is also responsible for any equipment and/or supplies missing at the conclusion of the event.
The security deposit payment will be deposited (checks cashed). Rental fees must be paid separately. The security deposit will be refunded four to six weeks after the event provided there are no reasons to withhold funds.
Reservations cancelled 30 days prior to reservation date will receive a full refund of the deposit. Reservations cancelled less than 30 days prior to the reservation date will receive a prorated refund of the deposit.
