Take part in our Collectible Card Challenge to explore the individual amenities of parks and facilities throughout Irvine and see how these intentionally designed spaces offer opportunities to create and celebrate community.

National Park and Recreation Month started in 1985 as an initiative of the National Park and Recreation Association, with the goal of raising awareness of the essential services provided by parks and recreation opportunities in communities across the country. July is also recognized at the state level by the California Park and Recreation Association as Parks Make Life Better Month.

Do you want to spend more time outdoors? Make it your career. We are hiring Community Services Leaders to provide exceptional service and innovative programs at our various parks and community facilities. Learn more at cityofirvine.org/jobs.
