Palm Canyon
A tropical oasis containing more than 450 palms, including 58 species.
A proper hidden spot in Balboa Park, where winding paths take visitors into a shady, lush canyon. The original group of Mexican fan palms – so prominent in the canyon – date back to 1912. The garden also features a picturesque wooden footbridge leading from the Alcazar Gardens parking lot to across the street from the Spreckels Organ Pavilion.
