The city of Irvine is considering spending 80 percent of its federal COVID-19 relief funds on improvements to a local park.

It received $53 million from the American Rescue Plan, a pandemic stimulus package, and will discuss during an April 27 meeting whether to put $42 million of that money toward Heritage Community Park upgrades.
