HERE2 - A History of Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park is more than a history of hard and inventive work to plant trees in a treeless, windswept environment. It is more than a history of the struggles of those who sought a bucolic park against those who had sought to locate massive building projects in a large convenient location. The construction of Golden Gate Park creates a myth of what San Francisco might be have been had the city never been built - it's implied, garden of Eden.

Excellent video! I love San Francisco and I used to live about 3 blocks away from the park (the Botanical Garden entrance) and we could see the park from the balcony outside the kitchen. I can kick myself now for almost never having exploited the opportunity of living so near such a beautiful place and having visited there more often than a few times. You never really appreciate what you have until it's gone :-(.

It’s cuz your dumb😂

No Tartarian Buildings to see here. Just move along. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The entrance off of Haight street is a Nexus of joy....it seemed everything went quiet when I entered the park on my only visit to S.F. ....THE best place in the U.S. period...I did not want to leave.
Excellent video!

[@lymarchvideo]

Not the quiet, but the joy is sort of what that area meant for folks during the early hippie days in the Haight, circa 1965-66.

[@StONed-mb1iv]

@lymarchvideo I was born in ‘66!
I’m in!!

A past, not passed, what’s wrong with people?

Your form of pleasure is the best.
Glad you ended Coney Island too.
So many fun rides, and only a few million people back then
Progress is all work and retreat, no play, perfect! Need those vacations from your perfect life

the moral of a MUSEUM is preserve and proof history, not to REWRITE history

[@thestevedoughtyshow27]

No mention of the Chinese garden built for the fair. Sutro owner the Clif house before 1887.
