You're Invited- Balboa Park Trust Bike Rack Dedication on Friday, January 31 at 10:00 a.m.

The Balboa Park Trust at The San Diego Foundation will be dedicating new bike racks and celebrating Balboa Park as it makes strides to increase accessibility for residents in all communities. Interim Mayor Todd Gloria will unveil the bikes and thank the Parks & Rec Staff who installed them.

Thanks to funding provided by the Balboa Park Trust, of The San Diego Foundation, Balboa Park is placing bike racks throughout the 1,200 acres of park space. These fun “penny-farthing” designed bike racks will add to the visual and historic appeal of the Park while also increasing access to our “Crown Jewel.”
