Description
(33 1/2 Acres) 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard. Improved the grove by building retaining wall, tennis courts, bowling greens and barbecue, providing facilities for family community outdoor activities, in a natural bowl surrounded by magnificent trees which make a sheltered and delightful recreational area. This was the site of the historic Trocadero Inn where the only reminders are the small lake and the rock garden. This is now the locale for summer musical festivals attened by 15,000 or more music lovers.–Healy, p. 61.
