Ensuring the Future of Balboa Park’s Trees By Lucy Warren ne of the first things our city fathers (and mothers) did in Balboa Park was plant trees. They envisioned a beautiful shaded park where people could walk and Oplay. In this time of discovery, they planted many species from throughout the Annual Butterfly world—not knowing which ones would easily adapt to our climate and growing conditions—easily accepting both successes and failures as they learned more Release about growing conditions in San Diego.

Multiple years of severe drought have ravaged Kathryn the Grape! the stored soil water resources for these venerable trees. And water restrictions have reduced our ability to sustain beautiful but water-thirsty species. As good stewards of a sustainable urban park, we face the increased maintenance of a mature urban forest. We are now the ones who must look forward for another century to take care of our tree legacy and envision the future. We now have the newly created Sandra B. Phelps-Wilson Horticulture Fund devoted specifically to horticulture projects in Balboa Park. Please make a donation today to make a difference for this urban forest.

Known as “City Park”, the scrub-filled Bmesa that overlooked present day Downtown San Diego sat without formal landscaping or development for many years, as citizens fought off early attempts to reduce its size. Less successful in subsequent years, Balboa Park has been reduced in size to 1,078 acres. The first steps in Park beautification were made in 1892, largely due to the contributions of Kate Sessions. Just after the turn of the century, a master plan for Park improvements and beautification was formally introduced. Supported by a City tax levied in 1905, the process began in 1903 and continued through 1910. Water systems were installed, planting continued, roads were built, and the Park began to take on some of the familiar layout of today. No city tax dedicated to Balboa Park has been levied since then. The Panama-California Exposition of 1915 and the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935 were the two largest influences on the Park’s architecture, setting the tone for the Spanish Colonial Revival style prevalent in the Central Mesa, and the Southwest and Art Deco styles found in the Palisades area. Largely ignored, part of the East Mesa was eventually used as a landfill. The year 2018 marks the 150th Anniversary of the establishment of San Diego’s crown jewel, now a global destination for arts and culture and a regional resource for recreational and horticultural experiences. Looking to the next 150 years, we dream of sufficient resources to maintain our crown jewel and to implement the wonderful, pedestrian-friendly vision already approved by San Diego’s City Council. The latest Master Plan was adopted in 1989, and amended several times thereafter. Both the Central Mesa (between hwy 163 and Park Blvd.) and the East Mesa (between Park and 28th St.) have been Above: Balboa Park East Mesa Precise Plan the subject of Precise Plans. Below, right:Central Mesa Precise Plan Bleow, left: Balboa Park Master Plan (2012) All of these planning documents have excellent ideas for the better utilization of all of Balboa Park. As we mark the 150th anniversary of the visionary decision to create our crown jewel, isn’t it time to move forward with these ideas?
