BalboaPark is made up of more than 1000 acres and offers fifteen museums, various gardens, arts and international culture associations, as well as the San Diego Zoo, making it a place that offers something historical, horticultural, educational and recreational for everyone.
BalboaPark is managed and maintained by the Developed Regional Parks Division of the City of San Diego Park and Recreation Department.
BalboaPark's sports complex is named after John Morley, who was Park Superintendent from 1911–1939, years which encompassed the two international expositions that were so crucial to the development of the park.
BalboaPark is a 1,200 acres (4.9 km²) urban cultural park in San Diego, California.
Unlike some city parks, such as New York's Central Park, which is mostly free of buildings in favor of open space and recreational fields, BalboaPark is a cultural complex.
Among the private institutions within the park's borders not administered by the city's parks department are San Diego High School, a naval hospital and the San Diego Zoo.
