About the Nature Park and Village
Irvine’s largest nature park and new trail network would anchor a low-density village, which would include a new public school. We believe this approach embraces Irvine’s traditional master-planning approach and prioritization of public open space. The alternative outcome is the implementation of the city’s General Plan in this area, which identifies approximately 5,000 apartments on portions of the Oak Creek Golf Club and adjacent properties. Based on resident feedback, we are excited to pursue the nature park and village outcome and are now seeking your feedback. Learn more here.
