    On the Shady Side: Escape the Heat to San Diego's Coolest Spots by Ondine Brooks Kuraoka

    Publication Details: San Diego Family Magazine July 2004 pp. 28-29, 31 Approximately 1,400 words On the Shady Side: Escape the Heat to San Diego's Coolest Spots by Ondine Brooks Kuraoka During the dog days of summer, it’s tempting to hunker down inside until the temperature drops. Cabin fever can hit hard, though, especially with little ones. If we don’t have air conditioning we hit the mall, or stake out a booth at Denny’s, or do time at one of the wild pizza arcades when we’re desperate. Of course, we can always head to the beach. But we yearn for places where energetic little legs can run amok and avoid the burning rays. Luckily, there is a slew of family-friendly, shady glens nestled between the sunny stretches of San Diego. First stop: Balboa Park (www.balboapark.org ). The Secret is Out While you’re huffing a sweaty path to your museum of choice, the smiling folks whizzing by on the jovial red Park Tram are getting a free ride! Park in the lot at Inspiration Point on the east side of Park Blvd., right off of Presidents Way, and wait no longer than 15 minutes at Tram Central, a shady arbor with benches. The Tram goes to the Balboa Park Visitors Center (619-239-0512), where you can get maps and souvenirs, open daily from 9 a.m.. to 4 p.m. Continuing down to Sixth Avenue, the Tram then trundles back to the Pan American Plaza near the Hall of Champions Sports Museum.

    Balboa Park, 1909-1911 the Rise and Fall of the Olmsted Plan

    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Winter 1982, Volume 28, Number 1 Edited by Thomas L. Scharf Balboa Park, 1909-1911 The Rise and Fall of the Olmsted Plan By Gregory Montes Copley Award, San Diego History Center 1981 Institute of History Images from this article BETWEEN 1868, the founding year of San Diego's City Park, now Balboa Park, and 1909, public open space protagonists and antagonists fought frequently over how to use the 1,400 acre tract. But as of 1909 it still was not clear which force would prevail in the long run. Due to San Diego's small population (39,000) and economy, caused mainly by its remote location in the southwesternmost United States, City Park represented somewhat of a draw by 1909. On the one hand, the relatively few, albeit vigorous, well-placed park supporters had managed to achieve since 1868 only about 100 acres of spotty, although pleasing landscaping, mainly in the southwest, northwest and southeast corners of City Park and construction of several long, winding boulevards throughout the tract.1 On the other hand, the park poachers had succeeded in permanently gaining only five acres for a non-park use, San Diego (or Russ) High School at the south side of City Park. Until 1909, public park protectors and town developers had not reached a consensus on how to proceed with City Park. Then came forward an idea which seemed to have something for both sides, more or less. The transformation of that proposal to reality brought divergent San Diegans together on some points and asunder on others.

The Period of Significance encompasses the full occupancy of the Marston Family from 1905-1987, which reflects the completion of the house construction in 1905 to the death of daughter Mary Marston in 1987.
