Great
Park Survey Results
In early December, members of the public were
invited to attend an Open House at the Great Park, meet and talk with
the Park designers, and participate in a short survey on proposed Park
programs. The Conservancy offered an opportunity and encouraged those
who could not attend the Open House to participate in the survey on-line.
Results
of the survey have been compiled and are presented here in summary,
along with comments by survey participants. Among the key findings
are that people want: a mix of uses within the Park; features and
programs that take advantage of the outdoors and unique space of
the Park; and, facilities and amenities that are not otherwise available.

Among
the most popular attractions are:
Outdoor Performance Space
Botanical Garden
Amphitheater
Hiking Trails
Biking Trails
Nature Trails
Farmer's Market
Regional Festivals
Outdoor Cinema

Community Gardens.
Comments
by survey participants included:
"The Great Park is an opportunity to provide
Orange County with extraordinary
museums, hiking paths, gardens, etc. that can be enjoyed by all ages..."
"Keep
it green. Keep it interactive. Keep it about community in O.C."
"The
park should act as a town square or focal point for all of Orange
County to come together. It should incorporate much needed cultural
venues where residents can find substance for the mind and soul."

Great
Park Open House Invites Public to Comment
on Park Programs
The public continues to play an important role in the design of the Orange
County Great Park. On December 1st and 2nd from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at
the Great Park Balloon site, the public is invited to the "Make the Great
Park Your Park" Open House. Guests will be able to meet and talk with
the Great Park designers, review exhibits and comment on proposed park programs
through a short survey.
Members of the public who are unable to attend the event will be able to take
the survey online at ocgp.org. The online
survey will be available from December 1st through the 8th.
Programs under consideration have been grouped into five general areas: sports
and recreation; cultural and social institutions and activities; historic preservation;
ecology and nature; and festivals and events. Exhibits depicting programs in
each of these areas will be on display for public review and comment. Public
comments will help to guide the designers in recommending programs for inclusion
in the Great Park Schematic Design.
The
results of the survey will be presented to the Orange County Great
Park Corporation Board on December 13th.
