An Unnatural History of Golden Gate Park explores the multifaceted nature of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
The nature of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is deceptive. The land that it occupies was originally thought to be an undesirable drift of sand dunes on the outskirts of the city known as the Outside Lands. Today the picturesque scenery of Golden Gate Park presents a convincing English style pastoral landscape and the park serves as a treasured recreational ground for the citizenry of San Francisco.
An Unnatural History of Golden Gate Park is an audio tour that strolls through this historic pleasure ground exploring sites from Stow Lake to the Bison Paddock to the grassy roof of the California Academy of Sciences. The piece considers the important role that this evolving landscape plays in the cultural and ecological life of the city and the social ideals that have shaped it through the decades.
Park visitors will be able to download An Unnatural History of Golden Gate Park to their iPods and MP3 players through iTunes as well as from the project web site
