To find the heart of Irvine in the summer, look no further than Great Park. For my family, it’s more than our nearby park: It’s where we spend our weekends, where memories are made and milestones happen. Morning strolls on the trails help me clear my head and spark new ideas, while bike rides with my son on The Bosque Trail remind me just how peaceful and beautiful this city can be.
It’s where my son learned to ride a bike and scooter, and where he now practices soccer and baseball. It’s where my wife joined a Frisbee league and I got back into softball. And when we’re not chasing sports schedules, we love heading to The Layover. It’s become a go-to weekend hangout – an open-air eatery where kids burn energy on inflatables while we catch up with friends over food and a cold beer. There’s music at Great Park Live, adding yet another reason to stay into the evening.
The park offers something for everyone: lush open spaces, world-class sports fields, scenic trails, playgrounds, live entertainment and vibrant community events. Whatever your interests are, Great Park is your gateway to making the most of life in Irvine.
fitness for all ages.
