Developed by the Park District in the 80s as a demonstration project, at one time the orchard contained over 30 kinds of trees, mostly fruit bearing, which were cultivated using organic methods and available to the public for consumption. Today, the orchard still contains many varieties, although some no longer produce fruit it contains a lush collection of fruits, flowers, and greenery. The Isla Vista Peace Disc Golf Course begins here, with the first two holes winding around the center orchard area.
