Welcome to Orange Coast College home of the Pirates. I hope you have a wonderful visit in beautiful Costa Mesa and OCC. We have a beautiful campus with high quality athletic facilities and close access to local beaches, Disneyland, and Knotts Berry Farm.

This Visiting Team Guide provides helpful information on local restaurants and hotels, and I hope this information is shared with coaches, families, and supporters so all who visit Orange Coast College has a positive experience. As we all know, traffic, parking, and campus activities during the week and on weekends creates challenges, so I encourage you to provide the widest distribution of this guide possible to limit those challenges.
Please take special note that Parking Lot G is the preferred area to park on campus. The Adams lot, by the football stadium, may have a swap meeting going on early in the morning. Please avoid this parking in this lot if possible. You can purchase a daily pass from the “parking dispenser machine” located in each parking lot. The cost is only $1.00 for 4 hours and $2.00 for the whole day. Parking is free on the weekends.
 

Please don’t hesitate to contact the division office at 714-432-5766 if you have any questions about our campus or the local area. We are here to help ensure you have a positive experience while visiting Orange Coast College.

 

Sincerely,

Michael Sutliff
