The Cities of Garden Grove and Santa Ana are developing a “vision” for redevelopment of the Willowick Golf Course site.

The Visioning is intended to be used to guide the preparation of development plans for Willowick. The visioning process explored how Willowick can best serve and enrich the community, including the next generation, what activities and land uses are needed, and how it can keep pace with changing conditions and trends. The Visioning is a compilation of community-driven needs, goals, ideas, and feedback.

To the east across the Santa Ana River, is Spurgeon Intermediate School and Spurgeon Park. Directly to the south, is Cesar Chavez Campesino Park.
