Officers discovered the elaborate, club-like setup Friday morning after following up on trespassing activity in the area in the Great Park, Irvine police said in a Facebook post.

The two people staying in the space had been cited multiple times for trespassing in the building, but on Friday police discovered the intricate setup, with car batteries powering the party equipment.
