According to City staff, construction work should not impact Great Park neighborhoods, motorists, or the use of the Great Park sports fields.

The amenities being built in the area referred to as the “Heart of the Park” will include: an Amphitheater; the Full Circle Farm (a fully operational farm to grow fresh produce for local food banks and host farm-to-table events); the Great Meadow (a large open green space); two lakes; and the Grand Promenade (a 2-mile pedestrian walkway through the park between Cadence and the Irvine Train Station).

Some cities promote wellness by expanding access to nutritious food and recreational facilities. Others strive to keep healthcare costs affordable for everyone or keep parks clean and well-maintained. When a city doesn’t take care of these critical issues, it can impact the community’s health.

To determine which cities prioritize residents’ well-being, WalletHub compared 182 of the most populated U.S. communities across 41 key indicators of good health. The data set ranged from the cost of a medical visit to fruit and vegetable consumption to the share of physically active adults.
