Clubs and Associations
With its inspiring architecture and scenic views, Balboa Park is often the preferred setting of various events of different organizations. In the past, Balboa Park has cooperated with groups such as The California Federation of Womens Clubs, the Lawn Bowling Club and The San Diego Rose Society. Balboa Park is also utilized as a showcase for cultural organizations to celebrate the rich diversity of San Diego. For example, the Council of Latin American Clubs hosted their Mexican Independence Day Ball in the Balboa Club Hall. Presently, Balboa Park continues to show a strong commitment to the various clubs and organizations that embody the diverse fabric of San Diego communities.
