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. | | | | | | November 6
