Animals leave behind many types of clues to let us know they are around, but the ooey, gooey, smelly kind is the most fun! Animal poop, or scat, is a fun way to explore the local wildlife. Learn about the types of poo found from animals in Irvine Park and make a craft clay scat to take home!

This fun program is for ages 2 – 6 years. Space is limited; parents must register themselves and each child. Program is free though there is a Park Entrance Fee per entry vehicle. For questions, please contact Resource Specialist, Kelley.Brugmann@ocparks.com at 714-973-6625.

Join OC Parks staff and volunteers to learn about the various volunteer opportunities available in many of the OC Parks facilities. Travel around to park booths to meet park staff, ask questions, and learn what a “day in the life” of a typical volunteer at that facility would be like. Visit as many or as few park booths as you are interested in.

This is ideal if you are interested in learning more about the OC Parks Volunteer Program, need assistance getting connected with a park facility, or are an existing volunteer and would like to expand your volunteer role in OC Parks.

Light refreshments will be provided, and parking is free. We look forward to meeting you there!

Spring has sprung in Irvine Park and that means there’s more little baby animals! Not all baby animals look like their parents; some may have spots like a fawn or look completely different like a tadpole to a frog! Hear a fun tale about springtime and let’s go on a walk to look for signs of spring.
