The Great Park

The Great Park is a community development project on the site of the shuttered El Toro Marine Base. It is inexpensive to visit, large and usually has a festival or two to visit. They also have a tethered helium balloon, the Orange Ball, that goes up 400 feet with a large circular basket underneath for carrying passengers. The balloon was closed on the day we visited due to high winds, but we walked around a farmer's market considering eating lunch there from the various food trucks.

This looks like I ordered the kids on the tubular bike sculpture for a picture, but it was completely impromptu. They love running around the Great Park because it is so big. It was nice to capture the three kids playing together like this.
