Situated in the midst of the city, the park will continue a public ground, and the trees and flowers and a number of the buildings will fortunately remain permanent. The west approach is by a great reinforced concrete viaduct of the "cantilever uni type," a masterpiece of engineering which bridges the cabrillo canyon. It is 1,010 feet long, and rises from a stream and lily pond 130 feet below. From its parapets one gets an idea of the marvelous planting of trees and flowers of all kinds which constitutes one of the most important features of the exposition. Pepper, palm, and euca- lyptus jungles and groves, a tea plantation, and the varied agriculture of the great southwest, grow in rich profusion. Spanish style of archi- tecture dominates— everything is Spanish colonial— Indian, Mexican and Mission types have here received a new birth.
