Thinkwalks presents an exploration walk:

Walk Deep in Manure & Park History

 

The Park was nothing but blowing sand until the manure arrived.

Where the pregnancy test frogs lived. And still may.

Today’s Golden Gate Park is a lush, sculpted garden. What a feat! For 6,000 years it was open dunes. There is one small woodland that’s been there for centuries, if you stretch the definition of “be.” We’ll explore how the park came to be. We’ll visit locations that are glamorous habitat for a pregnancy test frog. We’ll identify bits of a building that’s (strangely) eight centuries old. We’ll explore!

Highlights: dawn redwoods, native oak forest, horseshoe pits, quarries, velociraptor forest, Hearst’s ambitions, old zoo, first playground, earth moving stories, invisible multicolor bridge, fog & wind, the old Downtown of the Park, pedestrian passages, new nature trail, old photos, world’s fair of 1894.

Unearth how your Park was made, and make it even more yours.
