The city of Irvine was designed with conservation in mind. Some 16,000 acres of preserved natural habitats and wildlands offer wide open spaces, hiking trails, and bikeways for visitors to enjoy, while public parks and green spaces dot business complexes and residential areas. This year, the Trust of Public Land ranked Irvine’s open space and parks the best in Southern California, and the 10th best in the United States.
With about a third of the city designated for outdoor recreation, its residents naturally tend to have an active streak, locals say. Join them, perhaps after a day of eating, to work it off in the great outdoors.
