Orange County Great Park

Great Park features Friday Night dancing , Saturday Night Concerts in the Park . The summer series is promising to be filled with great entertainment here. Remember to visit the Farmer's Market Weekend

Thanks for the great debacle Larry Agran! He just wanted kill the airport on his no growth slate in our little community of 250,000 people! Get real. Enjoy the dirt lot with an orange balloon in it

The balloon is free year around! Summer is when the lines are longest, but bring dinner and set up a picnic while you wait. The 400 foot view is worth it!

PSA: Rides will no longer be free beginning 4 April 2013. Balloon flights will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children age 6-16. Carousel rides will cost $2. Expect shorter queues as a result.

Walk to discover history!

Definitely doesn't live up to the hype or name... Pretty lame... Mostly just a bunch of soccer and baseball fields . The entrance isn't very "grand", if at all noticeable. It's just okay.

Free use of soccer balls, frisbees , American footballs (similar to rugby but softer;)

Donate a can. Help feed the needy. Get a free treat bag. And good karma
