John McLaren
(1846-1943)

     As superintendent of parks, continuing the work of the previous park superintendent, McLaren patiently nurtured San Francisco's sand dunes into Golden Gate Park, one of America's great urban parks. During fifty-three years on the job, he built playgrounds and parks in San Francisco, sent around the world for plants, and was responsible for planting more than two million trees.
