A History of Golden Gate Park - Fromm - Fall, 2019
Schedule: Wednesday, 10 am until 11:50*
* There is one holiday, Yom Kippur, October 9th. Normally we would add the makeup class at the end of the Fall Session on November 6th, but I will be out of town that date, so I plan on adding 10 minutes to each of 7 classes instead of having a makeup class.
Class logistics: - start on time, keep breaks to 10 minutes and end on time. - feel free to ask questions at any time during presentations. - Contact me at [email protected] if you have questions, suggestions, or comments.

Visionary for what an Urban Park should be…
Olmsted had designed CentralPark in New York City, and was persuaded in 1865 to offer somesuggestions for suitable location fora grand urban park in San Francisco.He proposed a swath of park anchored by a large parcel hugging the lower slopes of Buena Vista and Corona Heights, sweeping down to through Hayes Valley and fromthere turning north to the Bay in a wide, green boulevard along what is now Van Ness Avenue.
