Carrotwood Park — Attraction in Irvine

I walk through this park every day. Shame on the City of Irvine for its dilapidated state. The landscaping arm of The City made a not even half hearted pass at planting grass in the field. To no one's great surprise, nothing came up. It looks terrible. The supervisor told me that it wasn't a "major" park and they really didn't care to devote many resources to fix it up. Not even grass seed? Really? Don't even get me started about the rest of the grounds.

He loves it too. He totally stays within the soccer field, bothers no one and when he's done, he gets his very own drink of water. Right now during COVID, the play ground is closed but it's a lovely walk-through park on our way to 6mile walks. If you aren't into "long walks" don't...

It is important to understand that this is a very local neighborhood park. There are MANY parks in Irvine that are multipurpose. This is really a great park if you live in a very short walking distance. If you want a full amenities park,Irvine had lots of those, too. Even as small as it is, it still has two large kids play structures, a soccer field, half basketball court, and a volleyball area. ...
