Balboa Park named among top Great Places!
The American Planning Association named Balboa Park as one of six "Great Places" in America, representing the gold standard in terms of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow.

We agree, and invite you to make a contribution to the Friends of Balboa Park Endowment fund to ensure Balboa Park's legacy for future generations. Every dollar is being matched during 2015!
