A lot of the park is still under development, but the Great Park Balloon ride, carousel, art galleries, and many other parts are open to the public.
The Great Park is a public park in Irvine, California, with a focus on sports, agriculture and the arts. It is a non-aviation reuse of the decommissioned Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro. The Orange County park comprises 28.8% of the total area that once made up the air base. The project was approved by the voters of Orange County in 2002 at $1.1 billion.
