Appreciation of its possibilities as a center for cultural, social, and recreational activities was manifest following the 1915 -16 Exposition when, almost unanimously, the people refused to permit th e temporary structures of that time to be torn down. Their choice was to remodel and reconstruct for purposes of education and diversion .

  • Balboa Park Master Plan Amendment
    PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO BALBOA PARK MASTER PLAN PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BALBOA PARK MASTER PLAN Plaza De Panama, Circulation, and Parking Structure Changes A. INTENT OF THE AMENDMENT An amendment is proposed to the Balboa Park Master Plan that will restore significant areas of Balboa Park to pedestrian and park use.1 This open space restoration will result from realigning certain vehicular traffic routes, minimizing vehicular/pedestrian conflicts, and altering certain parking areas. Under the proposal, a new access route – including a by-pass bridge and road, to be called Centennial Bridge and Centennial Road, respectively – would be created from the west side of the Central Mesa, then connect to the Alcazar parking lot, lead to a new underground parking structure behind the Organ Pavilion, and then join with Presidents Way leading to Park Boulevard. One benefit of the proposed changes will be to open major areas of the Central Mesa to exclusive pedestrian use for the first time since 1917. B. MAJOR PROJECT ELEMENTS This proposal to restore large portions of Balboa Park to pedestrian and park use involves the following elements: 1. Remove cars from the Plaza de California, West El Prado, Plaza de Panama, Esplanade, and Pan American Road; 2. Restore pedestrian and park uses to Plaza de California, West El Prado, Plaza de Panama, The Mall, and Pan American Road East; 3. Create a new underground parking structure in the parking area behind the Organ Pavilion; 4. Develop an open space and recreational area on the roof of the parking structure, plus create other landscape and pedestrian use areas that restore more than 6.3 acres of pedestrian use and parkland to the Central Mesa; 5.

The 1935 Federal Building, soon to be home to a Comic-Con museum, is missing the striking 1935 Maya mural painted on glass above its entrance. The condition of the 1935 Starlight (Ford) Bowl is a civic disgrace. The exterior of the Balboa Park Club, venue for many public meetings and events is an eyesore that belies Balboa Park’s status as a National Historic Landmark District.

  • The Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park
    THE SPRECKELS ORGAN PAVILION IN BALBOA PARK by Richard W. Amero The Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park would not exist if it were not for a timely and costly donation by John D[iedrich] Spreckels (1853-1926), whose name the Organ and the Pavilion proudly bear. John D. Spreckels was the son of Claus Spreckels (1823- 1908), an immigrant to the United States and to California from Hanover, Germany, and founder of a sugar empire in California and in Hawaii. John D. was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in San Diego County. He had decided to move to Coronado, then part of San Diego, from San Francisco after the disastrous 1906 earthquake. In doing so, he left behind in San Francisco his three brothers, Adolph B. (1857-1924), Claus A. (1858-1946), and Rudolph (1872-1958) He being the older brother and Adolph the second oldest, a bond existed between them that he did not share with Claus A. and Rudolph. At times he competed with his two younger brothers, with whom he differed in politics and temperament . he being more starchly conservative. John D. and his brother Adolph were joint owners of many San Diego enterprises, including Southern California Water Company, San Diego Electric Railway Company, San Diego and Southeastern Railway Company, Point Loma Railroad, San Diego Union and San Diego Tribune newspapers, Spreckels Theater Building, First National Bank of San Diego, Mission Beach Company, Savage Tire Company, San Diego & Coronado Ferry Company, Bank of Coronado, Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Country Club, Coronado Tent City, and Coronado Water Company.
