Unlike some city parks which are mostly free of buildings in favor of open space and recreational fields (e.g. New York’s Central Park), Balboa Park is a cultural complex. Besides open areas and natural vegetation, it contains a variety of cultural attractions including museums, theaters, gardens, shops and restaurants as well as the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park has been declared a National Historic Landmark. The park is managed and maintained by the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Another great tourist spot for great vacation.
