At the headwaters of Laguna Canyon is a key linkage to The Irvine Ranch's giant Southern Open Space Land on Irvine's southern boundary. Laguna Laurel, as the 1,400-acre site is commonly known, also is a key linkage to Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, and Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park.
The land—highly visible along Laguna Canyon Road near the community of Laguna Woods—has long been described by preservationists as one of the last remaining undeveloped coastal canyons in Southern California. Adding the entire site to Laguna Coast Wilderness Park has been the focus of an 11-year joint preservation effort between the community and The Irvine Company.
The preservation of this key portion of the canyon is now assured: The Irvine Company will permanently protect and then donate as a gift the last remaining undeveloped canyon parcel—a 173-acre missing link—as open space in perpetuity.
