El Prado San Diego, CA 92101 |
Description
This beautiful old bridge connects Balboa Park with the city of Hillcrest. It was constructed in 1915 for the Panama-California Exposition in celebration of the Panama Canal. The bridge is a popular route for rollerbladers, cyclists, joggers, and park walkers. Be sure to take in the stunning views: the big buildings of downtown to the south, the zoo to the north, and the vertigo-inducing freeway below. Don't forget to look up as well--you can sometimes see the underbellies of big jets as they make their final approach to the airport.
