The Orange County Great Park operates as the centerpiece of the redevelopment of the publicly owned portion of the 4,700-acre former Marine Corps Air Station at El Toro in Orange County, based in Irvine, California. The park's 1,347-acre master plan encompasses a range of attractions, including a 400-foot tethered helium balloon that offers views of ongoing development, the Hangar 244 site, a Carousel, Farm + Food Lab, Kids Rock Playground, Walkable Timeline, Palm Court Arts Complex, and the North Lawn recreation area. Planned additions around 2012 included the South Lawn lighted soccer fields and a Community Garden. The organization engages the community through events and educational programs, such as the Fall Gardening Workshop series held starting October 2012 at the Farm + Food Lab. It operates in the Recreational Facilities industry and serves residents and visitors seeking outdoor recreation, arts, and educational experiences on publicly owned land. With a relatively small to mid-size workforce, the entity focuses on managing park facilities and programs in Irvine.
