“San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park is not just a great urban treasure, a botanical wonder, and a sterling, sylvan retreat in the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful cities. It is a living testament to the dreams of man. Once a past sandy wilderness, William Hammond Hall’s sweeping park design ranks as one of the great achievements in the history of the West Coast. The park has been at the epicenter of the shifting trends and movements that have helped shape the city’s soul. More than 15 million people come to experience the park’s wonders each year.
Golden Gate Park is a marvel of microclimates and private passions, from weekend soccer games, to quiet trips to the fly-casting pools, to festive gatherings like Opera in the Park. The greenbelt carved by master gardener John McLaren offers visitors space for almost every conceivable recreational pursuit, including jogging, biking, sunbathing, skating, and archery. For generations, San Francisco’s citizens have cherished and protected the park and all the structures in it, from the Conservatory of Flowers to the de Young Museum, so that it remains a refuge as breathtaking today as it was a century ago.
It takes a great vision to build a world-class park. It takes a great heart to build one for the ages.”
