:"See also South Park (disambiguation)"
South Park is a neighborhood of San Diego, California, East of Balboa Park, North of Golden Hill and Grant Hill and South of North Park, the boundary being Juniper Street. The area is part of Greater Golden Hill for San Diego city planning purposes. While some believe that it is part of Golden Hill, the South Park name dates back to the original South Park Addition designation registered on May 17, 1870. [Montes, Beth [http://www.southparkneighbors.com/index.php?pageId=93390 "The Early History of South Park"] , South Park neighborhood web site] Serious development in the neighborhood started around 1905-06 with the extension of streetcar service by the Bartlett Webster developing company.
Predominantly a single-family residence area, with some duplexes and small apartment buildings or bungalow courts, it is noteworthy for its fine and varied collection of Craftsman and Spanish Colonial style homes built in the 1905-1930 period. These include works by Irving Gill, William S. Hebbard, and Richard Requa. South Park is gaining repute for its small businesses, and has long been home to a group of residents diverse in income, age, sexual orientation, and race. Pedestrianism, like in other urban mesa neighborhoods north of Balboa Park, is high relative to the rest of San Diego. The elevation is about 200 feet above sea level but still reasonably flat within most of the area. South Park can be found off 30th Street via car or bicycle, or served by the number 2 line bus. Zip codes are 92102 and 92104.
Elementary schools in the neighborhood are the Albert Einstein Academy Charter School (for German language immersion) and Brooklyn/Golden Hill Elementary.
Old House Fair
The Old House Fair is an annual community event in South Park, centered on the intersection of 30th Street and Beech Street. It occurs on a Saturday in the middle of June. Vendors are primarily local businesses selling home furnishings and other items of interest for owners of the Craftsman homes in the area. Musical groups also perform on a stage on Beech Street.
