The Commonwealth Club has added Mark Buell, President of the Recreation and Park Commission, to our panel on “Golden Gate Park Under Siege.”  We welcome Mr. Buell’s input, and look forward to this discussion.  Please note that questions will be accepted from the audience, and we encourage all people concerned about the future of Golden Gate Park to attend.  We advise  pre-registration for this May 11^th, 2011 event.

 

The Commonwealth Club of California presents:

 

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.
