THE ORANGE COUNTY GREAT PARK PLAN
WILL TRANSFORM THE FORMER MARINE CORPS AIR STATION
EL TORO INTO AMERICA'S LARGEST METROPOLITAN PARK.
In 1993, the federal
government told The Marine Corps to abandon the El
Toro Airbase. Residents of Orange County, California,
have been debating about future use of the crisscrossing
runways and the valuable surrounding open space. Many
residents wanted to see a commercial airport at El
Toro.
After several ballot initiatives and lawsuits it was
decided that the former El Toro Airbase be converted
to America's largest public Open Space: The
Great Park. Larger than Central Park, NYC
and Golden Gate Park, SF put together, this tranistional
space brings much debate to this county. Located in
the middle of America's 3rd most densely populated
county, the Park will connect with forests and open
space to the north and south making it possible to
hike all the way from the beach to the mountains through
a continuous corridor of green.
