Golden Gate Park was once nothing more than a bunch of sand dunes and native scrub. But in 1870, the City ousted some squatters and set aside a 3 mile by 1/2 mile swath for the City's largest park. In 1902 and 1905, two Dutch windmills were erected at the Ocean end of the park to provide irrigation for the park.This is a picture I took during one of bike rides through the park. This is the first of the two windmills to be refurbished. It towers above the surrounding trees.
