July Construction at the Great Park: What to Expect
Tarmac is being removed at the ARDA site for the Veterans Memorial Park & Gardens.

In addition to the ongoing building demolition, the City of Irvine is starting the tarmac removal process at the ARDA site to make way for the Veterans Memorial Park & Gardens project at the Great Park. Out of an abundance of caution to avoid disrupting students and staff at Cadence Park School, demolition work has been purposefully planned to occur when school is out of session. Residents can expect to experience noise and ground vibration while construction crews remove the 12-inch-thick concrete tarmac.

Hours & Schedule
Demolition work will only occur during permitted work hours, 7 a.m.–7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Saturdays. No work will occur outside of these hours, nor on Sundays and holidays. Demolition work is expected to begin early July and last through mid-August.

New EV Chargers at the Great Park

The City of Irvine is installing new EV chargers — an electric vehicle charging station that connects an electric vehicle (EV) to a source of electricity to recharge electric cars, neighborhood electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids — at the Great Park.

There are 166 new Level 2 EV chargers being placed in Lots 4, 5, and 6 at the Great Park. To use the EV chargers, visitors simply scan the QR code on the chargers and make a payment through the portal. Charging stations are expected to be available for visitors to use by mid-July.
