The City of Irvine was distinctly designed to be built as a place where not only our residents would succeed, but the land itself. Long before our City's incorporation the groundwork was laid to create America's most livable city.

The City of Irvine is excited to announce the reopening of Plaza Neighborhood Park playground after undergoing renovations. Improvements to the neighborhood park include new playground equipment, signage, shade structures, and walkways. Construction began in summer 2020, and the park officially reopened May 20, 2021, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the Irvine City Council.

Mayor Farrah N. Khan has joined together in the US Conference of Mayors Vaccine Challenge to get 70% of American adults vaccinated with at least one shot before July 4 – but she is taking it a step further, challenging Irvine to be 75% fully vaccinated by July 4, 2021. To that end, the City of Irvine is offering COVID-19 vaccinations at convenient neighborhood locations on weekends and evenings to provide more opportunities for the public to get vaccinated. Appointments are available for various days and times.

The City of Irvine invites the community to the final Irvine Summer Art Market, a monthly outdoor artisans marketplace at Great Park. Visitors can enjoy the park while browsing unique locally made wares and viewing live art demonstrations.
