niversary of adoption of vision zero. that is event at city hall mayor spoke and director tumlin spoke and community and elected leaders spoke and i was very pleased we marked that milestone. >> good morning everyone. let's all give a happy birtday for golden gate park! [applause] a brief love note to kick off the festivities. so, in a city like san francisco, parks are really powerful places, and they rep mind us that place is powerful. and golden gate park just might be san francisco's most important place to understand golden gate park is to understand san francisco. from the post gold rush years to the 1906 earthquake and fire, from the panama pacific international expigz and summer of love.

aids epidemic and explosion of business and jobs it is a oasis through the joy, misery, growth, invasion. within the parks majestic canopy are stories. stories about class, about race, about nationality and religion. stories about conflict and peace. stories about gentrification and equity. stories about constancy and change. stories about stewardship and stories about destruction. stories about technology and nature, about celebration and suffering, about all arts, music and food. about love gartherings and solitary strolls. stories about communities neighborhoods and families. stories about all of us. on a personal note, this park is my post important place. no other place knows me better. this park watched me fall in love, raise my two daughters, make friends, build my career.

golden gate park helped me work through struggles and challenges and helped me find joy, health and inspiration. the trail network and tree canopy offered me privacy and shelter to find myself. during my time as our parks director i had the hum bllg opportunity to influence the park landscape, form and rhythm through both preservation and through change. through the ghost of william hamenhall and john malaren watching closely. over the last 15 years we restored the fountains and band shell and music concourse. rebuild the mercy windgil and mark station. renovated the soccer fields and club house. ceezer stadium, cezer triangle. we added--behind me, the first piece of permanent art added to the park in

generations in conserve tore valley. we added a restroom at the 45th avenue playground. renovating the bloleing greens. improve all the park entrances and signs. we now call speedway meadow hellman hollow and middle drive east, nancy pelosi drive and sharon meadow robin william meadow. we added a musical evening light show to the conservancy of flowers, piano to botanical barden. tea house. outside land music festival to polo fields and a portion of this beautiful space that used to be call jfk is now a car free prom naund for hundreds of thousands walk, run, roll, ride, sun-bathe and enjoy art music and food. while visitors once traversed the park on horse and buggy, and now travel on

scooters, segues, bicycles. the park became a safe refuge during the covid pandemic. we celebrated a bunch of anversity. the redwood grove, spreckels lake. holiday tree lighting. the 50th anniversary of summer of live and in 2020 celebrated in the rain the parks own 150th anniversary. we got a little shorted because of the pandemic, so 154 is the new 150, which is why we are making such a to do out of today. [applause] golden gate park is resilient and bigger then any one event, policy, decision or person. but that doesn't mean our kunt stewardship of the space isn't critical. ernest hemmingway, today is one day in all the days that will ever be but what

will happen in all the other days that come can depend on what you do today. perhaps only this park itself knows what the future holds. it is the keeper of all of this city stories and secrets. no doubt it will always be the guardian of san francisco's treasureed public memory, so happy birthday golden gate park. you will always be san francisco's very important place. [applause] not bad for 154 year old. i'm not that old. alright. so, we all love the space. and if is really really nice to be here. i'm going to introduce a bunch of special guests that are here. we have a lot of honored guests here. we have let's give up for the amazing rec and park staff for generations and generations. [applause] but, i now have the great

pleasure of introducing our city's official park champion in chief here to celebrate the parks beautiful birthday, our mayor, london breed. [applause] >> i mean, who doesn't love a birthday party? ! it is so great to be here to celebrate 154/i guess 150 years of golden gate park and what it is meant to the people of san francisco. how many of you were alive in 1870? nobody? nobody? okay. well, the thing about this park and the establishment, it made it possible for people all over san francisco to enjoy. it has so many stories phil talked about and it has a great story i want to tell about the children's park, which was the first public

playground for children in the city and county of san francisco, and how many of you have spent time going up and down that slide with a piece of cardboard? memories all over the place. and this place has so many more stories. the conserve tory of flowers behind me was the first building erected in golden gate park in 1879 and as time went on this place hosted over 2 million people for the world fair in 1894. when i think about the summer of love, because you think golden gate park and summer of love, this place has been a beacon of hope excitement love and laughter and we continue the tradition with so many amazing public performances with music, including outside lands and comedy day and other events that really bring joy and lift

our spirits. and we have the academy of sciences. we have the d young museum. we have so many other-we have the lisa and doug goldman tennis center and we have so many options for people to play and have fun and to enjoy. during the pandemic, i just to back up a bit, growing up as a kid in this city, we would catch the bus and walk to golden gate park and put on our roller skates and we roller skate and we would hope that somebody had a boom box because you know how it was with the batteries that wouldn't last very long, so people have their boom boxes, roller skating, dancing and everything else and david miles has taken it to a whole another level down the street with an amazing place for people to skate and have fun. when i think about golden gate

park, i think about so many things. this can be whatever you want it to be on any given day depending on your mood. but what it did for the people of san francisco during a global pandemic was extraordinary. in fact, a spent a lot of times during the pandemic with my hoodie on walking to golden gate park, walking through and around and honesty getting lost sometimes in golden gate park and this was a place where i saw people and i saw people outside safely social distancing with their mask on, but never the less, getting fresh air and coming together and bringing their kids and family members out here in wheelchairs and baby strolers and bikes and you name it, they were all out here enjoying this beautiful park. how fortunate are we that this park is now being considered to be one of the best parks in the entire united

states by usa today? [applause] and it isn't too late to vote so go online to usatoday to make it official. and by the way, we are 200 acre bigger in golden gate park then now york so they can continue to eat their heart out. [laughter] there are so many things we can say about the beauty and the transformation and i know everybody here probably has a personal story, maybe it was your first kiss, like phil talked about falling in love with his wife emily. maybe it was when you met someone and became friends over your dogs sharing a bond or your kids, who knows, but that is what makes this park so special, because of those stories and are those experiences and i guarantee that all most every single story that you will hear about this park is one of

joy. is one of happiness. is also one of pride for this park and for the city of san francisco, so as we celebrate today, i want to take this opportunity to of course recognize its history and its value to the people of san francisco and the visitors from throughout the bay area and the world and i want to take this opportunity to really thank those people who are really in the background, doing all the work. you'll see a tree, maybe have fallen one day and the next day it is not there. there are people who take a lot of pride in protecting, supporting and keeping golden gate park looking like one of the most incredible beautiful parks anywhere in the world and that is so many of our public-our rec and park workers, our gardeners, all of you, please raise your hand if you are one of the people responsible for

to turn the land into oasis for all to enjoy. and as the mayor noted, it takes dedication and ongoing work to keep the park shining and more accessible then 154 years ago. what other city contains a [indiscernible] arts and cultural institutions, wind mills, lakes gardens music concourse and so much more? this remains a must see for visitors who come to enjoy the beauty and magic of course alongside all of us san franciscans. as phil noted we are rooting for the outcome of usa today best park. i will ask you to vote. whatever the outcome though, this park is the best city park and magnet for the visitors that we bring to this community every day. attractions and places like golden gate park make san francisco a incredible destination and draw millions visitors each year to this community. and we at san francisco travel will continue to share the park
