Set against the striking backdrop of Lomas Ridge, this Village was thoughtfully planned to provide acres of open space, while bringing homeowners remarkably close to all Irvine has to offer. Residents enjoy nearby access to miles of hiking and biking trails, a variety of parks and abundant recreational amenities. Homeowners will also have nearby access to Jeffrey Open Space Trail, an open space recreational corridor that is popular among hikers and mountain bikers. Jeffrey Open Space Trail will ultimately span Irvine's entire northern and southern region, traveling approximately five miles starting from just past Portola Parkway in the north to Quail Hill's open space in the south.

Six parks are now open within Portola Springs, where residents of all ages can get in touch with their playful side. Silverado and Lomas Valley parks have junior Olympic swimming pools, children's wading pools, spas, poolside cabanas, shade structures, barbeque/picnic areas, lighted athletic fields, tot lots, basketball and tennis courts, and multipurpose buildings/community centers. Ridge View Park also has two lighted tennis courts, and joins Discovery, Voyager and Village parks in treating residents to barbecue areas, tot lots, expansive green lawns and picnic pavilions.

The Village is connected to shops and restaurants at nearby Woodbury™ Town Center and Trabuco Grove Shopping Center. Smith Farms Organic Produce, Orchard Hills Village Center®, The Market Place, Irvine Spectrum Center® and Fashion Island® are also within close proximity.

Parents will be delighted to learn that Portola Springs' students attend schools within the award-winning Irvine Unified School District.
