*/GOLDEN GATE PARK UNDER SEIGE?/*

Treasured by millions of people from all over the world, Golden Gate 
Park’s meadows, forests, and lakes have served as a refuge from the 
pressures of urban life for both people and wildlife for over 140 years. 
Yet throughout its history, the park continues to attract those who view 
it as free land available for their favorite projects. In addition, with 
the current short-term budget crises, some view the park as a source of 
revenue rather than a precious civic asset to be protected.
