It is because of this philosophy that the city's public/private partnerships have proven to be successful. Proven Success Examples include the renowned Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest, which attracts more than 100,000 visitors per year, and The Arbor on El Toro, the city's newest shopping, entertainment and dining district.
