Om
Raske fakta: Spredt over 1 300 mål ble denne tidligere Marine Corps flystasjonen omgjort til en av de største byparkene i USA. Hovedattraksjonen er en massiv heliumballong som løfter besøkende 120 meter opp i luften for panoramautsikt over Orange County.
Høydepunkter: En trekarusell fra 1940-tallet oppdaget i et varehus i Long Beach står nå i parken, med sine håndmalte hester restaurert til sin opprinnelige prakt med 24 karat gullblad. RIde den for 50 cent, samme pris som i 1944, noe som gjør den til en av de billigste nostalgiske opplevelsene i California.
Insidertips
- Pack a picnic and claim a spot on the Great Lawn for prime people-watching near the balloon.
- Visit the Palm Court Arts Complex to see rotating exhibits from local artists inside repurposed aircraft hangars.
- The carousel only runs weekends and holidays, so plan accordingly if that's your priority.
- Bring sunscreen and a refillable water bottle; the park is wide open with limited shade on sunny afternoons.
