A new paid parking program will launch at the Great Park in early 2027.  

The paid parking program aims to improve use of parking facilities across the park, leading to smoother operations and shorter travel and wait times for the Great Park's six million annual visitors. Additionally, as 300 additional acres of the park are under development, this parking infrastructure will meet the demands of more visitors. In anticipation of the launch, we encourage you to learn more about the program and be prepared for parking in 2027. 

Parking Rates

Parking Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. is free.

Parking is prohibited from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Vehicles left overnight will be towed per 
Irvine Municipal Code.
