ok guys i recently went to the last bbq meet, and to be honest, it wasn't all it could have been. whoever scouted the park. OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T parking fee... boo! table location way too far from the vehicles, i don't know maybe it was the dog side of the park but........crap/shit all over the grass getting to table. then only one table.....no good! BBQ grill falling apart, plus wayyy too small. i could go on and on.

the irvine park is cool, been there, nice place, nice grill. plenty of tables but no shade, and the cars are kinda far away.

i recently went on a jog at this park (HEART PARK on the border of Orange and Santa Ana)and thought "hey this would be a pretty cool spot for a meet" i went there today and took some shots for you guys to check out.

positives............



1. close to the 22 freeway (less than a block)
2. no parking fee
3. huge lot plenty of spots to park
4. lots of tables with shade
5. awesome grills (not falling apart)
6. picnic area close to the lot

negatives........NONE

on to the pics

one of the entrances



huge lot, this is just one side










shade and plenty of tables, with plenty of nice grills















the ride


this is just one part of the park, there are plenty more areas like this with tables and grills. VOICE YOUR OPINIONS GUYS

 

I'm down.

 

Set it up, Jaime!

 

W. O. Hart Memorial Park

701 S. Glassell St.
Orange, CA 92866

 

looks good to me. depending on work, im down

 

im a newbie here but if im invited i'd go. more orange county less LA pls

unfortunately my car is still stock

 

No worries regarding your "stockness". It's all gravy.

Just keep checking back. We'll set something up again soon!

 

I'd be down depending on the day.

 

^Same here. Set it up and they will come.

 

I'm always down.

 

Location looks good. I'm down.

 

Looks like a nice location. Lots of parking, and you can park under the bridge.

I am down for a meet at that location.

 

great! call it the "After All Cali-flaker meet" lol


but im in

 

Just got back from checking this place out. If we have a meet here, it'll have to be during the week. Unfortunately, the place was PACKED today, so I'm assuming all weekends will be the same way.

 

This looks like a great place id totally be down. Its okk im stock too

 

I think the best way for us to find a good spot is for us to scout possible places on the weekends. So if we happen to be at a park or any good "meet" spot, let's report!

 

just park anywhere eh Jamie? LOL....lets setup this meet for July 18th....

1. Tommy
2. Phillip

 

^ LOL. No Acurafest?

 

scott, there was another lot, past that bridge beyond the gravel river bed, just like the one in the pics only smaller with only one entrance. but still big enough for a meet, i'll check it out today, at like 12-1 pm and see how busy it is.

shit if i have to i'll get some orange cones and some caution tape and block it off

 

i like how you roll

 

i dunno about Acurafest....dude...there's like 100 people going it seems...100 people to drive to Fresno? middle of no where? it has to be one of the crappiest cities im sure. If Fresno was like Santa Barbara...i'd be down...Santa Barbara is a beautiful city....Fresno is....nothing.

Are you going to Acurafest ?

 

what do they plan to do up in Fresno besides photoshoots? it'll be hot and bright - not ideal conditions to shoot cars to begin with. sure there'll be some bbq'ing, but what else?

 

they say there are going to be raffles from the sponsors and games and free stuff too

 

i'd rather have an awesome location...

 

 

Maybe I can 1up that and get some Caution Hazardous Material tape from my dad

 

here is the other lot, pretty big. there are tables shade but...................no grills someone could bring a weber i've got one i went today at about 3 pm hardly anyone there. maybe cuz of the lack of grills. that might be a good thing.

 

Thinkin' about it. If I do go, I'll have to drive back that day.

vvv

I'd rather have a closer location.

Got it.

 

So true,im not saying thats the reason im going but yeah location sucks.


Maybe we should choose the location next year screw the nor-calers

 

I wouldnt say screw the nor-calers.... theyre pretty nice people... well the ones i met. but we should do it in sb next year

 

+1

:thumbsdow All Cali AcuraFail

 

+1, i still hold a small gripe about the event. i was trying to plan it but someone took over... and i'm fine with that but the "voting" was biased to the fresno location. the majority of the posts STILL are from norcal members. just saying it makes sense. more norcal on the thread> more norcal votes.

plus we all know sb>fresno. even slo>fresno.

 

^yeah thats what Im saying Im pretty sure they are some cool peeps but im saying lets not let them choose the location next time but hopefully its enjoyable and its not like last years.

 

Once we set a meet date, maybe you can inquire about reserving a section of the park?

Then we'd be good to go for sure.

 

^
Maybe this time we can set up some ground rules and some itinerary. Lets not have another un-organized event. possible potluck should be assured.

and also bring the list of what everyone is bringing or paying so if some one doesnt consequences will be held for them!!!!

 

i rather have an awesome location too....i don't think all cali is going to be a big turn out.....

 

Whether upcoming all-Cali event is going to be a big turn out or not, we still need to keep the spirit of the meet going this year so next year more people turn out for the event with awsome location.

 

We also need to find more 1st Gen CLs out there. Don't matter if its a Grandma driving, or a 16 year old who just got their license, anyone with a 1st Gen CL is more than welcome to the meet. Better to acquaint, that way we get more into the community, as well as to the forums...

...I was kinda being serious. LOL.

Anywho, I'd say we set up Meet Moderators if possible. People who are organize and know whats up with ground rules *cough*scottsr*cough* Know what I mean?

But...I have to drive back the same day...who's down to caravan back?
