Balboa Park is dotted with trees that have monument status in the State of California. These “Guinness Book of World Record Flora” are often included in various online lists of amazing trees. This tour highlights their unusual features and provides insight into their uses in their countries of origin and around the globe.
Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the second Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10 a.m. unless otherwise indicated.
Walks last 90 minutes and are typically less than 1 mile on level terrain. It is advised that potential attendees contact the Balboa Park Visitors Center prior to the scheduled walk to determine if there are any last-minute changes or cancellations to the tours.
