Join the City of Irvine for a one-of-a-kind, interactive community experience at the State of the Great Park, where residents, neighbors, and visitors can explore the past, celebrate the present, and envision the exciting future of one of the nation’s most ambitious public projects.
The Great Park belongs to all of us. This is a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come — and to dream together about what’s next.
Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just discovering the magic of the Great Park, this is your moment to engage, explore, and be inspired.
