LOS OLIVOS COMMUNITY CENTER The Los Olivos Community Center and Community Park spans over 12 acres and is a great place for Irvine residents and families to hang out. This space features an open play area with a musical-themed playground, athletic fields, tennis courts, and a multipurpose room that can be reserved for special events. At this community center, we offer classes and activities for all ages available at yourirvine.org. I encourage you to visit the Los Olivos Community Center and Community Park to explore all its features. To check out my video about this awesome community center, click here.

NEW COUNCIL DISTRICT DASHBOARD In preparation for the November 5th election, the City of Irvine has launched a new interactive City Council District Dashboard. This tool helps residents discover key features, facilities, and resources within their new district. Following the approval of Measure D, the City Council will expand from five to seven members and shift elections from at-large to district-based. This dashboard is a great tool to help you discover exactly where each district is. To access the district dashboard, click here.

IRVINE IS “BEST CITY TO LIVE IN” For the ninth consecutive year, Irvine has been voted "Best City to Live in," by the Orange County Register! This recognition should come as no surprise with our award-winning park system, fantastic schools, outstanding entertainment and recreational spaces, and incredible local business community. Additionally, the Irvine Police Department has kept Irvine the safest City in America for 18 years in a row. Irvine continues to be a desirable place to live. I look forward to preserving the exceptional quality of life that we are blessed to have. To read more, click here.

ANDY & AIDEN SAFETY GROUP My office had the wonderful opportunity to show our support for Andy & Aiden Safety Group at their second annual Communities Come Together of Irvine event. Andy & Aiden Safety Group is a nonprofit that works with local law enforcement and first responders to provide a fun and informative environment for children with intellectual disabilities and their families to learn about safety. Participants went through a series of interactive learning stations where they were taught and practiced how and when to dial 9-1-1, how to cross the street safely, and what to do if they get lost. Joining together helps to carry out their mission of providing community engagement and safety awareness. For more information about Andy & Aiden Safety Group, click here.
