Irvine could soon have a whole new way to take in its massive Great Park — from the sky!
Honestly, I didn’t even realize how huge this park is…it is currently 500 acres with soccer fields, baseball fields, themed playgrounds, a carousel, a zip line and a free balloon ride.
But they’re just getting started…eventually Great Park will be 1300 acres…bigger than Golden Gate Park in San Francisco…bigger than Central Park in New York!
And earlier this week, the Great Park Board voted to build an aerial gondola system over the park.
The plan is for eight gondolas operating between two stations connecting the balloon ride on one side with a planned shopping area on the other side.
