Save Gilgal Gardens! An old, funky (to say the least) sculpture garden park, hidden in the middle of a block. A very unique place built early in the 20th century by a Mormon mystic. Must see to appreciate. Behind the surplus bakery and across the street from Trolley Corners. Note: very limited hours. P.S.: donations needed. Stay tuned for links.
