Balboa Park is many, many years of great memories for me when I lived in San Diego and when I return for a visit with family and friends, a return to Balboa Park is always on the agenda. I would not miss it.

Well done documentary. All you want to know about the history of the Park.
Good job.

Nice place to walk around. Balboa Park. Went to the Cherry Blossom festival at the Japanese house. I have gone there for a few year.
And I am watching this video dated 2015, in 2022 The Hall of Champion is now closed and replaced by Comic Con museum. It wasn't that popular in its final few years.

Thank you so much. I love Balboa Park and Old Town San Diego. We must continue to preserve these jewels for future generations to enjoy. I definitely need to get out and see more of San Diego. That is the main reason I moved here. Totally awesome video and thanks for sharing!!! A MUST-WATCH!!!!
@marks6406
Well done …..
@johnacord5664
Balboa Park really makes San Diego much more than a two bit GI town.
@peterblood50
I love San Diego and especially Balboa Park but seriously, this video needs a serious re-mix. The music is way to loud and covers the interesting commentary. Well, 6 years later, it's too bad that won't happen.
@maureenarrigo7056
What an annoying video… epic fail, which is a darned shame because Balboa Park is indeed a gem. The content was great. SO much history and lots of good current facts (well not current anymore, since this is a few years old). BUT the musical soundtrack was much too loud, often drowning out the narration (which in itself could have been far more engaging, in timing, emphasis, inflection). The narration was also much too fast, but presumably that is because the poor narrator was forced into a 1/2 hour time slot. The video could well have been at least an hour. The fascinating historic photos flashed by much too quickly.
I hope the history center will consider making a new, updated, video soon. Ditch the music.

I remember my first HJ in this park by the Zoro garden. Such a relaxing and enjoyable park!
@donkeedic9825
Balboa Park is amazing.. it's a diverse place to see many different type of homeless……. You have out of their mind drugged crazed homeless and then your standard crazy homeless, leaders in San Diego need to do something about this!!!!!!

When I joined the Navy in 1963 my first duty station was Miramar Naval Air Station. I soon discovered Balboa Park and fell in love with it. With my first look at the beautiful Spanish architecture and the majestic eucalyptus trees I knew right away I could never go back to my home in Long Island NY. I have been a Californian ever since and the beauty and magic of San Diego has always been in my heart.

Marie Hitchcock, and her sister said that the Puppet Theater should have been named after my mother. Marie Hitchcock and my mother started in the San Diego Library preforming shows, with my mother reading the stories & Marie and Cinder providing the puppets!

@quotidian5077
My husbands Great Grandpa Sherman Trease was an artist in Spanish Village. I hope to visit soon with our kids, looks like a magical place.
@donkkong5551
My then-girlfriend now Awesome Wife and I traveled to San Diego in the early 2000s. Balboa was one of my favorite visits much like the Longwood Gardens and Dupont Estates on the East Coast where I am from but only better due to the wide array of the museums. If I could afford it and was forced to relocate San Diego would no doubt be my number one choice, what a beautiful area. I would probably spend a lot of time on La Jolla eating fish tacos that's for sure!
@juneralston711
I met my husband by the lily pond back in 1973. Very special place.
@timothyosborn1697
Beautiful. I just want to know how Balboa Park has an area of 1,875 sq miles (3:14 on video)? I believe it's more like 1.875 sq miles. The comma should be replaced by a period (just saying).

I'm coming to San Diego this August.

Can't help but love California. There's no other place like it.

Outstanding city planning. If there was a world Prize, I would consider it way, way up there. United States, number one. Great place with a beautiful vibe.
@timm6112
Beautifully captured. Spectacular narration. You did it. Spot on. I was lucky enough to have spent a few years living very near by and enjoying it immensely. Thank you for this.
