Lawsuit filed on Willowick fate

A group opposed to development of the Willowick Golf Course is suing to stop converting the 101.5-acre site into commercial uses.

Willowick is located within Santa Ana city limits but owned by the City of Garden Grove. As the lease for the golfing use expires, those cities are collaborating on what to do with the land, a rare large piece of mostly vacant land in central Orange County.

According to published reports, Rise Up Willowick Coalition – with the help of another organization – will pursue legal action to ensure that the land be used for affordable housing or open space. Officials in both cities denied that there was a legal requirement for such uses.

No decisions have been made on the ultimate fate of the property, although several concepts have been advanced.

GGHS was established in 1921 in response to efforts by neighboring school districts to annex the area. It moved from temporary quarters to its present location on Stanford Avenue in 1923. The establishment of the Garden Grove Union High School District created the borders of what would eventually make up the Garden Grove Unified School District
