City accepts downtown park site for new Navy hospital
San Diego agrees to relocate the Navy hospital to a downtown park after years of seeking a different site. The current Balboa Park facility is aging and sprawling, with about 400,000 military beneficiaries in the area expected to be served by the new hospital. The city attorney's office arranged negotiations with the Navy as plans evolved from World War II growth, amid warnings that Balboa Park land might be transferred to another state.
