Balboa Park is a 1,200 acre urban cultural park in San Diego, California
named after Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa.
Many of the trees in Balboa Park were planted
by American gardener Kate Sessions.
Placed in reserve in 1835, it is one of the oldest sites in the United States
dedicated to public recreational usage.
Besides open areas and natural vegetation,
it contains a variety of cultural attractions including
museums, theaters, gardens, shops, restaurants,
as well as the San Diego Zoo.
Balboa Park was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
The park is managed and maintained by the
City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department.
