Savage Garden






Just below Fort Scott near Upton & Wool Ave, below a parking lot is a small trailhead leading to a mini lush camping area reserved for a kid's camp program for The Presidio. The trail leads to a small bridge and has a wild overgown ambience that is sensuous, nouveau, and exquisitely primal. The spot has an intimacy, though perhaps too intimate in size to comfortably accomodate the Silver Sun project. The stone bridge and walkways are created by the WPA, so I'm told -- giving this place a distinctly historical air, which is charming. Perhaps, we could include it as part of related programming? It is a hidden gem!
