Balboa Park began in 1868 when San Diego's civic leaders dedicated 1,400 prime acres to create an urban oasis. Originally the land, crisscrossed with canyons and dominated by native scrub, was called simply "City Park." In later years, Balboa Park hosted two successful world expositions: the 1915-1916 Panama-California Exposition and the 1935-1936 California Pacific International Exposition. The unique evolution of the park included occupation by the U.S. Navy, a zoo, a Native American village, and even a nudist colony. Balboa Park also suffered periods of neglect and demolition before citizens groups united to save and restore the beloved Spanish Colonial Revival buildings.

The Panama-California Exposition of 1915 established San Diego as a focal point of cultural activity in California. The Spanish Colonial Revival exposition buildings, along with those from a second exposition in Balboa, house several of the great museums of San Diego. This 1,200-acre park in the central portion of the city contains the world-famous San Diego Zoo, fifteen museums, the Old Globe Theatre, sports and recreation facilities, hiking trails and some of America's most elaborate gardens. The late Richard W. Amero, longtime Balboa Park historian, wrote extensively about the park and its two expositions. His chapters on the creation of the first exposition have been edited into this essential volume on city history by Michael Kelly, president of the Committee of One Hundred. .

Hip and historic, North Park fascinates with its commercial energy and Craftsman charm. The community has always embodied an enterprising spirit. In the 1870s, cronies of Alonzo Horton mapped neighborhoods north of Balboa Park in a patchwork of individual subdivisions. Four decades later, John Spreckels's streetcars finally brought investors, residents, and shopkeepers, creating San Diego's slice of Bungalow Heaven. Baseball great Ted Williams played on North Park's fields, and tennis star Maureen Connolly trained on its courts. The local shops served as a regional commercial center after World War II, and the Toyland Parade attracted 300,000 spectators. Although decades of decline followed the exciting 1950s, North Park is flourishing again in a renaissance initiated by the restoration of the elegant North Park Theatre in 2005. This pictorial history tells the classic story of a boom, bust, and boom.

In 1915, San Diego stepped into the international spotlight with the staging of the Panama-California Exposition on land that only a few years prior to the opening was a dusty park on the outskirts of downtown. A century later, Bertram Goodhue's vision of a romantic "city" of richly ornamented Mexican and Spanish-Colonial style buildings still captivates visitors to Balboa Park, which has also grown and changed through the years. Another exposition, the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, added a new layer of history, buildings and gardens to the park with the vision of master architect Richard Requa.In commemoration of the centennial of the Panama-California Exposition, "The Art Traveler Guide, A Portrait of Balboa Park," outlines a walking tour of the Balboa Park's most significant historical buildings and gardens. Original paintings, done in acrylic on canvas or paper, by RD Riccoboni vividly illustrate each landmark, and a forward by Bruce Coons, executive director of Save Our Heritage Organisation, introduces the colorful history of this San Diego gem.The tour begins at the historical Marston House in the northwest corner of Balboa Park and crosses Cabrillo Bridge to enter the core of the park through the Atlantic Pacific Arch. From the central corridor of El Prado to Spanish Village, the Spreckels Organ Pavilion and the Palisades area that includes the Ford Building and the Santa Fe Building, each corner of the park has its own story to tell.The tour ends at the House of Pacific Relations, a cluster of cottages built in 1935 to promote peaceful harmony between representatives of the nations that occupy the buildings.
