The Park was nothing but blowing sand until the manure arrived. Today’s Golden Gate Park is a lush, sculpted garden. What a feat! For 6,000 years it was open dunes. There is one small woodland that’s been there for centuries, if you stretch the definition of “be.” We’ll explore how the park came to be. We’ll visit locations that are glamorous habitat for a pregnancy test frog. We’ll identify bits of a building that’s (strangely) eight centuries old. We’ll explore! Unearth how your Park was made, and make it even more yours.Highlights include dawn redwoods, native oak forest, horseshoe pits, quarries, velociraptor forest, Hearst’s ambitions, old zoo, first playground, earth moving stories, invisible multicolor bridge, fog & wind, the old Downtown of the Park, pedestrian passages, new nature trail, old photos, and world’s fair of 1894.
