At the old El Toro Marine Base the Orange County Great Park has a free balloon ride! We went out there and got in line.
Here’s a bit off their website:
“The Department of the Navy sold the property on February 16, 2005 to the winning bidder, Lennar Corporation, for $649 million. As a condition of the sale of the property, Lennar Corporation signed a Development Agreement that deeded 1,347 acres to the City of Irvine for the Orange County Great Park and agreed to pay an additional $200 million for future development and maintenance of the Park.”
