163 and Interstate 805, the heart of University Heights is near
the intersection of Adams Avenue and Park Boulevard. San Diego's
first trolley took visitors to the Mission Cliff Gardens and
the Harvey Bentley Ostrich Farm at the end of Park Boulevard

park attracts a large crowd Friday evenings in July and August.
There are a number of historical architectural gems in
University Heights that
have been restored and preserved. Ostrich Feather awards are
given to annually to the best gardens in University Heights
and for community volunteerism.
