Balboa Park
Balboa Park, a 1,200-acre cultural oasis in San Diego, began as "City Park" in 1868, and was renamed in 1910 to honor Vasco Núñez de Balboa, the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas. It gained fame for hosting the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, which shaped much of the park's architecture and character.
