The 1,017 acres of Golden Gate Park were designed as San Francisco’s response to Central Park in New York.

(Central Park is 840 acres, in case you were wondering.)

Wouldn’t it be great if more American cities had followed New York’s example?

Central Park and Golden Gate Park are both lavishly adorned in fantastic public art.
