PARKS
San Francisco is noted for its beautiful and extensive parks. There are 49 parks and 150 recreational units, with a total acreage of 3460, others are under development. In addi- tion to the municipal parks, the several government reserva- tions, the largest of which is the Presidio, comprising 1542 acres, all go toward augmenting the aggregate area of the city parks. The area given does not include the numerous golf courses in and about the city. More than $15,000,000 has been expended on municipal parks since 1870. All of San Francisco's parks are "man-made." Originally only sand dunes marked the spots where today are gardens of rarest flowers, shrubs and giant trees. Even lakes, streams, waterfalls, hills, valleys and dales were worked out by man, to say nothing of the miles of walks, bridle paths and boulevards traversing the parks. Golden Gate Park is one of the world's most noted playgrounds. It comprises 1013 acres and is about 3 miles long and a half-mile wide, extending from Stanyan street on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west and lies in the midst of San Francisco's choice residential districts. In the park are many museums, monuments, an aviary, aquarium, music tem- ple, stadium, tennis courts, baseball grounds, football grounds, trotting and packing horse track, athletic field and running track paddocks, and children's playgrounds. There are more than 25 miles of improved driveways in the park. Wild ani- mals of many species are to be seen, while every bird and squirrel known to California roams or flies at will through the dense woods and shrubbery. At the western end of the park is to be seen the sloop "Gjoa," the only vessel that ever navigated the Northwest Passage, and which was given to San Francisco by its owner and explorer, Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole also; the gift was accepted by San Francisco June 16, 1909. The ship was hauled upon the beach and is protected by a high iron fence.
SOCIAL
Events -- The cosmopolitan character of San Francisco is well portrayed by the interesting and diversified events which
13
take place daily. The citizen or visitor may find many educa- tional things of interest, such as lectures, concerts, readings, recitals, special exhibits of drawing, painting, sculpture, and other works of art.
Art Galleries-Three public art galleries and several semi- public galleries offer exhibits and collections of national and international fame. The M. H. de Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco Museum of Art, and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
Library-The main public library is located in the Civic Center. There are twenty-one branches and six depositories. This system has more than 581,930 volumes. About 2,500,000 books are circulated for home reading. In addition to the public libraries there are nearly one hundred private and spe- cial libraries, including technical and institutional. There are also numerous circulating libraries.
Public Buildings-The Municipal Auditorium, with a seating capacity of 9,136, contains a magnificent organ and is in use for a variety of events daily throughout the year. The Civic Opera House and the War Memorial Building provide a home for opera, the symphony orchestra, and a permanent war relics museum. San Francisco is the first city in the nation to have a civic opera house. It has a seating capacity of 3,285. The Civic Opera House and the War Memorial Buildings were chosen for the meeting places of the United Nations delegates who assembled there from April 25 to June 26, 1945, to construct the Charter of the United Nations.
Clubs-There are numerous societies, clubs, lodges and fraternal groups beside the civic, historical, military, religious, and sporting groups. San Francisco contains many foreign colonies where the daily life and social events familiar to their native countries have been re-established here.
Churches-San Francisco has about 353 churches, repre- senting many denominations. The congregations of the churches include people of many nationalities, such as Eng- lish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Scandinavian, Russian, and Chinese.
PUBLIC HEALTH
San Francisco public health facilities are efficient and modern in every detail, including a bacteriological laboratory, a chemical laboratory, consolidated inspection services, the San Francisco Hospital, the Laguna Honda Home for aged indigents, the Hassler Health Farm for convalescent tuber- culosis cases, six emergency hospitals, child welfare centers, well-baby clinics and other health control facilities scattered throughout the city.
RECREATION AND CULTURE
San Francisco is a city of supreme and exotic beauty a city of many interesting parts, and a cultural and vacation center for those who like to explore. The vacation experts, Californians Incorporated, say-There is the storybook part that is not on the map-the things of the city that guidebooks only hint at-small in area as great cities go, it is America's most cosmopolitan city. Almost surrounded by the sea, it's like being on shipboard all the time-there's salt in the ocean breeze, filling you with buoyant energy.
