The Current and Future Orange County Great Park Survey was developed by City of Irvine staff. It includes six questions and was available in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese, as well as in electronic and printed versions. It collected demographic information and provided respondents with opportunities to choose their preferred park features as well as to provide their opinions on the Great Park’s current and planned features. The following are questions that were asked, accompanied by survey results and findings:

Survey Findings
1) Please tell us your age range and city of residence.
Respondents were divided between Irvine residents (56%), and Orange County and non‐Orange County residents (44%). Respondents were drawn to the Great Park for special events that focus on healthy living options and gardening workshops. Many respondents are familiar with the Great Park because of the Great Park Balloon. Based on survey results, additional features at the Great Park will be well received by the Orange County community if they include trails and additional playground equipment. Due to the closure of Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, regional residents are seeking a new venue to host outdoor concerts. Respondents are eager to have future Great Park features to include botanical gardens and a space for a community garden. Constituents would like to attend fireworks displays to celebrate Independence Day or New Year’s Eve, and cultural food festivals at the Great Park.
