Generations of San Franciscans have delighted in what Golden Gate Park contains.
Reclaimed from the sand dunes, west of San Francisco's city limits 150 years ago in an area called the Outside Lands, San Francisco undertook a massive project of turning 1000 acres of land into a spectacular park that would reach all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
