Introduction -- National parks and the Bay Area -- A national park for the Golden Gate -- Golden Gate national recreation area and growth: land acquisition in the Bay Area -- How to build an urban park -- Administering Golden Gate national recreation area: "There's a constituency for everything and each has a voice" -- Natural resources management in a national recreation area -- Cultural resources management -- What stories? Why stories at all? Interpreting an urban park -- The Presidio and the future -- Epilogue -- Chronology -- Appendix. "In this book, one of our premier environmental historians looks at the new phenomenon of urban parks, focusing on San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area as a prototype for the twenty-first century. Cobbled together from public and private lands in a politically charged arena, the GGNRA represents a new direction for parks as it highlights the long-standing tension within the National Park Service between preservation and recreation."--Jacket. |
