Golden Gate park

Bridge at Golden Gate park

Japanese Tea House

Our group has decided to look into parks and green space in the urban environment. we will look at High Park and way finding system. I started looking at other big parks around the world in order to compare high park with them. Golden Gate located in San Fransisco , California is a large urban park and is 20% larger than Central Park in New York. it has over one million trees, nine lakes, several pools and a lily pond within its borders. Young Museum Of Art and conservatory of flowers are also located at Golden Gate. there is also a Japanese tea house in this park. This is the oldest public Japanese garden in United States and a tea house features Japanese and Chinese plants.
