Our community came together this week to celebrate the future heart of the Great Park, an area spanning nearly 200 acres that will include world-class amenities and offer opportunities for relaxation, quiet reflection, musical entertainment, dining, and gatherings, such as picnics and weddings.
Attendees got a glimpse of where the amphitheater, Grand Promenade, Great Meadow, Full Circle Farm, North and South Lakes, and the Timeline Bridge will take shape during the Heart of the Park Showcase, which also included a stunning kite show.
The exciting amenities within the Heart of the Park are expected to be completed beginning in 2027. Take a closer look at what’s coming to the park by visiting greatparkframework.org.
Join us in celebrating our diverse community! Fiesta Latina en Irvine on Sunday, September 22, and the Irvine Global Village Festival on Saturday, October 5, highlight Irvine’s diverse cultural landscape, and provide a platform to foster inclusivity and understanding with opportunities to learn about different cultures, traditions, and perspectives.
