Historic North Park Commercial District Walking Tour
University Avenue between 29th Street & 30th, North Park
Cost: $8 - $10
Hip and historic, North Park is a fascinating part of San Diego’s urban environment. The community has always embodied an enterprising spirit, reaching its peak in the 1950s as one of the region’s leading commercial centers after WWII.
Though economic decline followed, North Park’s commercial district, like the rest of the community, is seeing a renaissance initiated by restoration of the elegant North Park Theater in 2005.
Come along for a morning stroll along this historic commercial district as members of the North Park Historical Society tell the classic story of a boom, bust, and boom again.
The tour will begin by the North Park sign outside of the Union Bank.
