Grand Reopening of University Community Park

7/26/2010

Please join us in celebrating the grand reopening of University Community Park on Saturday, July 31, starting at 10:00 a.m.  This vibrant and essential component of our community has been renovated and is ready for use as a recreation and education center.    

More than 40 new classes and activities will serve the community, starting in August.  Child care services are also available through the After School All Stars Program.

Class offerings include:

• Early Childhood programs (educational based and dance classes);
• Children classes (dance, music, yoga, sword, chess and tennis classes); and
• Adult classes (dance, dog obedience, yoga, sword and guitar classes).

The renovated community center also boasts an innovative and resource-efficient design, which reflects the City's commitment to environmental stewardship.  The landscape features drought tolerant plants and recycled rubber mulch.  Other features include insulation made from recycled blue jeans, bamboo and other sustainable flooring, nontoxic paints and shade panels made from recycled water bottles. 

This unique facility is anticipated to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, a first for a City of Irvine-owned facility.
