Nowhere is this more on display than Balboa Park. Throughout the year we came together as a city for a Centennial celebration that honored the park’s rich history. The festivities marked the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition – an event that drew millions of visitors and put San Diego on the world map as an epicenter of new ideas and endless possibilities. The expo acted as a catalyst for a young city of roughly 40,000 residents and spurred the development of beloved museums and institutions in the park that are still going strong today, including the San Diego Zoo. We’ve spent the past year elevating, celebrating and promoting Balboa Park for 2015 and beyond. Just look at all the investments made into Balboa Park this year with the support of many fantastic organizations that worked hard to make sure 2015 was special. We reopened the California Tower for the rst time in decades. We put in new LED lighting throughout the park to illuminate public spaces with color at night. We expanded the Japanese Friendship Garden. We rehabilitated and reopened the Cabrillo Bridge. We revamped Old Globe Way and installed a Centennial Walkway. And we continued to improve the Plaza de Panama to ensure its stature as a public gathering space like none other in San Diego. We also made the Centennial an inclusive and community-driven celebration with signature events for San Diegans of all walks of life to enjoy. The year was bookended with our December Nights holiday festival which draws 350,000 people each year. In between, the City held two free public events attended by tens of thousands of San Diegans – the “Garden Party of the Century” in May and the inventive “Maker Faire” in October. This special section in the San Diego Business Journal turns back the clock and shows us what Balboa Park looked like a century ago. It also serves as a history lesson for anyone who doesn’t know the park’s history or the 1915 Expo’s importance in helping shape the future of the city we all call home. I want to thank the San Diego Business Journal for creating what will clearly be a collector’s item for all those who hold Balboa Park dear. In closing, I want to express our city’s gratitude to all the wonderful organizations, spirited San Diegans and dedicated City employees for pouring their hearts into Balboa Park throughout the year. The investments we’ve collectively made into Balboa Park will ensure that it remains San Diego’s crown jewel for the next 100 years. Sincerely, Mayor Kevin L.
