SENIOR COMMUNITY
Seniors bring their grandkids to the park, there should be a place for them to relax We don’t have enough places for seniors Is the Senior Center still being developed? There needs to be a place for seniors and young children Without trails or free transportation elderly people are not going to use the park. There are a lot of old people who don’t do sports and won’t benefit from the Sports Park SPORTS PARK It’s very unfortunate the plans for the park has turned more into a sports facility than an outdoor park What’s the timeline for the Sports Park? It is not necessary to have 13 soccer fields Where are the studies that say we need that many soccer fields? Who do I contact if I want to play sports at the park? When will each part of the Sports Park be open? Is the City really expecting 12 games simultaneously? How seriously is the Great Park taking the sport of lacrosse? The sport is the fastest growing in the nation. A few additional hard court sports rinks would increase the popularity of lacrosse in Irvine. Is there a box lacrosse planned or will it be in any way incorporated? There are many other facilities within the area that only have one box lacrosse area; the City would benefit from building multiple facilities. Why are there only six sand volleyball courts? While growing up in Chicago every summer, the city would build a hundred courts and there is always a line of people waiting to play. Irvine should do the same thing. Lacrosse is a cultural sport that should be embraced by the City and incorporated more in the final plan. SURFING FACILITY A surfing element can be certified as the Olympic training facility, which would help inspire a new sport in the area and would be constantly in use. Would like to see an adaptive surfing facility Sean Brody from Surf Education Academy o Would like to see a facility with controlled wave for surfers with disabilities o Is currently working with water park vendors Could be the 2024 Summer Olympic training facility There is a lot of retail/manufacturing interest in having a surfing facility in Orange County (Hurley, Billabong, etc) TRAFFIC The people who live in East Cypress Village are concerned with the traffic the ice rink will bring in Curious about roads leading into the park Is the City adding additional lanes? Is the Metrolink station going to be expanded? Has a traffic study been conducted or has the traffic been assessed for once the project has been completed? VETERANS CEMETERY Can we vote on it? We should reserve space for the living and do something else to honor the veterans
