Minigolf gjennom byen San Diego: 9 hull, par 26

San Diego er bakgrunnen for denne runden, med kartet som følger den virkelige byen og ballen som ruller over de faktiske gatene. Virkelige severdigheter, inkludert Heritage Park, gir strukturen for hullene. Skip er en lokal guide som kjenner disse fortauene godt. Denne raske 9-hulls runden dekker 2,9 mi med en par på 26.

Plaza de las Armas

Plaza de las Armas is a historic square and park in San Diego, California. It functioned as the center of the Pueblo de San Diego, which was founded in 1835 in Alta California. You can pick out different names for this spot, as it is also called San Diego Viejo Plaza, Old Town Plaza, and Washington Square. For those interested in official heritage, the site was listed on December 5, 1932, as California Historical Landmark No. 63. It is a great place to pause and feel the history of the region. I usually see a few other birds hanging around the greenery here, though they aren't nearly as good at giving directions as I am.

Mormon Battalion Monument

Det er ingen.

Whaley House Museum

Let me show you the Whaley House Museum in Old Town, San Diego, California. This building is the oldest brick structure in Southern California and is a historic house museum. You can pick out the Greek Revival architecture style that defines the exterior of the house. It was built in 1857 and is recognized as California Historical Landmark No. 65. Today, the site is maintained by Historic Tours of America, Inc (HTA). It is a great spot to see how early construction looked in the region, and it provides a look at the materials used during that era. I usually find the brickwork quite impressive, though I prefer a good ledge for a nap. It is one of those places where the building itself tells the story of the city's growth.

Wallach & Goldman Square

Dette stedet er ikke et travelt kjøpesenter eller en overfylt strand; det er Wallach & Goldman Square. Det er en park som gir et annet tempo for de som beveger seg gjennom San Diego. Jeg liker å tilbringe tid her når jeg trenger en pause fra støyen fra gatene. Du kan ta deg tid til å sette pris på det åpne rommet og den friske luften. Det er et enkelt, innbydende sted å stoppe og samle deg før du drar tilbake inn i byens tempo.

Heritage Park

San Diego County and the Save Our Heritage Organisation worked together to relocate several properties to create Heritage County Park. This historical park was developed to preserve examples of the city's historic Victorian architecture, ensuring these structures remain as a part of the local scenery. As you walk through the almost eight acres of the park, you can pick out specific preserved styles including Italianate, Stick-Eastlake, Queen Anne and Classic Revival. The park is located near Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, making it a great stop if you are exploring that area of the city. I have found that the different rooflines and ornate trim of these old houses make for some of the most interesting perches in the neighborhood for a bird like me.
