Promotional film for the newly improved Mission Bay Park. From an old Umatic video tape from Jack White's estate, transferred from an original copy of the film sometime in the 1970s probably. This is possibly the only surviving copy of this film, as I haven't seen it listed in any archives online.
I stood on the shore with my dad in the 50s and watched the dredges at work making the bay. As I grew I fished the bay for spotfin croaker until we moved to Mississippi in 1975. ❤
This was fun to watch. I'm a native San Diegan and grew up in Pacific Beach.
I’m 17 from San Diego & this is amazing
This film is an absolute treasure! Not everything they mentioned came to be, but most did. I can still dream of horses, shooting, and tropical flowers! Thank you so much for making this available for us to see.
Wow, this is great. It needs to be seen by more people. It's hard to believe that all of Mission Bay was at one time a giant salt water estuary with mudflats and San Diego city planners were thoughtful enough to plan and build a massive project like this. Now the city planners with a massive population are trying to take away park land. MONEY corrupts!
You are SO right! 😡
I lived above Mission Bay in c.1956. It was nice then. For decades I wondered why No One bought homes on top of Clairmont, especially ours, with a view of the Bay and to the south. The canyon was filled up with homes but still that simple neighborhood with the good views just sat until about ten years ago when someone bought our home and really did a remodel. Other homes along the canyon have been "Remodeled" too. The San Diego I knew is long gone and I haven't visited the area for over 30 years. And I lived near Sunset and Voltaire, recall the Jack in the Box being built (second one built, first on El Cajon blvd). The cliffs have eroded a good 50 feet since c.1961. Finally big rocks were laid at the beach cliff base. Erosion has slowed.
Thanks for sharing. Pretty cool
I love it especially for drone photography
There is a small amnt of film from other county parks, "future features" that were developed during the dredging of the bay to create Fiesta Island. The NE corner on the planning map was changed significantly after the Rose Creek fire in Pacific Beach. It is now the Rose Creek Preserve.
I kind of dig how terrible the kids are at basketball and shooting bows lol - thanks for sharing this! So much detail packed into one little promotional video
Born and raised There,60's,70" s
Great footage! I did a documentary on my channel about my Grandfather Mitch Angus and his work on the Mission Bay Commission such as Vacation Isle and the 30 foot building height limit. He did the pitch to Disney and also designed the hidden public beach off Ingraham St and dedicated it to my Grandmother.
What a gem of a film! Thanks for sharing!
"long motorboard ride across the bay" ... that was funny. 😂
Thank you for sharing this video!! It's a great classic!!
Great footage of pre-development. Certainly has changed from the 1950's.
Very cool video! I showed this to some of my family that lives in the area - very interesting how the East Shore does not look like how they planned:-)
Whoah! This is so awesome to see!
Friend, I could use your video of the old Tijuana, to narrate what happened in Tijuana that year. It will be used for the knowledge of the Tijuana people. Thanks a lot
Hi, yes you can use it for non-commercial purposes, as long as you credit me as the source and link back to my original video on youtube.

Perfect, thank you very much
Amigo, podría utilizar tu vídeo de la antigua Tijuana, para narrar lo que ocurría en Tijuana en aquel año. Será usado para conocimiento del pueblo tijuanense. Muchas gracias
LOVE how man reallly wants to tear the trailer park down !! Oh boy .. MONEY!!
I think the city has already started moving those trailers out. They forcefully removed 500 residents.
Florida passed laws when that started it's happening. The owner now has to First offer the property to the residents before he can sell it. They usually form a co-op and by the property. So they become owners of Their Own little piece of property. I don't know if that happens in California but it's been happening in Florida for decades
How did they do this without a phone glued to their hands ???
Hats off to these planners
The original bay was probably lovely
But it was shallow and smelly before they dredged it. But beautiful, yes!
It was a valuable wildlife refuge as were most of estuaries along the California coast. Almost all have been dredged. San Francisco was a major waterfowl area before 1900 but most of it has been developed just like the other estuaries ❤
I don't recall a concrete dam anywhere in Mission Bay Park at 13:14. The Boy Scouts shown boating, fishing, shooting rifles, and camping are at a county maintained reservoir most likely in San Diego's east or north counties...NOT Mission Bay Park. Just shows that media has been full of shit forever.
Clearly they used some stock footage of boy scouts they had on hand to show while they were talking about the "youth" aspect of Mission Bay Park. Not sure precisely where those scenes were shot, but it certainly could be the San Diego backcountry.
@@peahix That WAS Mission Bay. There was a boy scout "campground" there, kayaking and fishing etc. It's History...the BSA office would have the evidence.
Now if we just get the access back....
With a new corona case each day happening in my my small 92110 zip code, I wouldn't want to yet. Too great of a chance of someone sick and not yet aware of it sneezing on you on the sidewalk. Remember it takes over a week to develop symptoms.
@@YodatheHobbit Of course, all in good time. I didn't mean today. Stay healthy!
@@YodatheHobbit this comment hasn't aged well
kind of run down now
Nice playground, ecological disaster
Love my home...
What a gem of a film! Thanks for sharing!
