Being ranked among the most park-poor cities in America is a fitness test no city wants to flunk. But in 2020 amid the pandemic, the national ParkScore ratings issued by The Trust for Public Land (TPL) took on greater meaning as overcrowding at home and lack of school recess put families in a bind.

Development Talks Start on Last Large Open Space in Central Orange County
Garden Grove City Council took a decisive step forward in developing the 100-acre Willowick property. It’s the last remaining large piece of public open space in central Orange County, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
On Dec. 8, the council voted 5–2 to enter into a 90-day phase of negotiations with several groups interested in acquiring the land.
Garden Grove has operated the Willowick Golf Course on the property since 1964. The issue of redevelopment came up as revenue declined in recent years. Though the property is located in Santa Ana, California, it is owned by the city of Garden Grove.
