The Park's Superintendent

Ever wonder who runs Golden Gate Park or what are the biggest challenges to keeping its 1,017 acres in shape?

I just profiled superintendent Dave Iribarne for the wonderful Alta Journal. Here’s a taste of the story:

“The median on one side of the east vehicle entrance to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park sports a clean brick surface. Its mate on the other side of the drive sprouts an unruly patch of weeds. The difference between the two sides might go unnoticed by most people, but on a recent morning it was bugging the heck out of David Iribarne. As superintendent of the park, Iribarne is tasked with noticing when something is amiss and being bothered enough to fix it.”
