Applegate Lake

Applegate Lake is a 988-acre (400 ha) reservoir located in the Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest about 27 miles (43 km) southwest of Medford in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is 16 miles (26 km) south of Oregon Route 238 along Applegate River Road and slightly north of the Oregon–California border. The lake is an impoundment of the Applegate River about 46 miles (74 km) from its confluence with the Rogue River. History The United States Congress authorized construction of the Applegate Dam in 1962 as part of a flood-control project. In 1976, the Corps of Engineers began work on the dam, which was finished in 1980 at a final cost of $96 million. In addition to controlling floods, the dam was intended to store water for irrigation and recreation. Applegate Dam, 1,300 feet (400 m) long and 242 feet (74 m) high, created a lake stretching 4.6 miles (7.4 km) upstream. As the reservoir filled with water, it inundated the remnants of Copper, a community that had once had a post office and a few buildings. Since then, when water levels in the lake fall sufficiently, the highway that formerly ended at Copper reappears at the south (upstream) end of the lake and serves as the lower end of a boat ramp. Over 5,000 ounces of gold were recovered in the final two years of construction and proceeds were split between the federal government and two engineering firms involved. Applegate Lake holds up to 82,200 acre-feet (101,400,000 m3) of water. It and Lost Creek Lake, on the main stem of the Rogue River, are the only large multi-purpose Corps of Engineers reservoirs in the Rogue River basin. The lake, the dam, and other entities in this region were named for Lindsay Applegate. In 1848, he led a party of settlers through the Rogue River Valley on the way to mines in California. Recreation Applegate Lake has large populations of trout, landlocked Chinook salmon, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and crappie. It is stocked each year with about 120,000 rainbow trout and about 50,000 young Chinook. Ramps, including two that are open year-round, provide access for boats. About 18 miles (29 km) of trails circle the reservoir. The United States Forest Service maintains campgrounds as well as places along the shore for fishing, picnicking, and swimming as well as boating. Mountain biking is allowed on one of the trails, and horses are allowed on three. See also List of lakes in Oregon Media related to Applegate Lake at Wikimedia Commons References

Aqua Adventure

Aqua Adventure is a water park located in Central Park in Fremont, California. History In 2001, the City Council approved a project to utilize the site of the Puerto Penasco Swim Lagoon into a modern, family-oriented water play facility that would serve both the residents of Fremont as well as the surrounding region. The Family Water Play Facility (also known as the "Water Park") was proposed to be developed on approximately four of the seven acres of the site, which had provided water-oriented recreation to the citizens of Fremont for 32 years prior to closing in 2001. The Water Park would be focused on family fun. Construction was completed in early 2009 and was open to the general public on the Memorial Day weekend in May 2009. Facilities Currently, there are two open and two enclosed slides that twist and turn from a height of 40 feet (12 m) above pools and slide-stopping water gates called run-outs. A 700-square-foot (65 m2), 3-foot-deep (0.91 m) lazy river surrounds much of the complex, while a splash zone of water features water jets and sprays. In addition, the 25-yard long Oasis Pool is five lanes wide and functions as a swimming and exercise venue. A zero depth entry to the water course and a water bucket spray area has a depth of only one foot of water. Fremont Director of Parks and Recreation, Annabell Holland noted, "The deepest section of the entire park is four feet in the middle of the utility (lap) pool." Twelve shade structures will provide relief from the sun on hot days. Locker rooms, concession stands, food service, picnic areas, offices and other park amenities are available for use. Guests are not allowed to bring food into the park, but food shops are provided. Wristbands facilitate multiple entries such that entrance and re-entrance can be permitted. Groups that would like to reserve Aqua Adventure for private functions have an opportunity to do so. Additional programs Aqua Adventure also holds swim lessons and Junior Lifeguard camps during its summer operating hours. Swim lessons are offered in both the morning and evening in 2-week long sessions that run Monday-Thursday. Private lessons are available, along with Saturday morning sessions. Jr. Lifeguard camps are held approximately 3 times a summer, with emphasis on introducing campers to the basics of being a professional lifeguard. CPR, rescue breathing, shallow water rescues, and first aid are among the topics covered in this week-long course. Lap swim has most recently been held in the afternoon after the park closes for the day, alongside swim lessons in the Oasis Pool, Monday-Thursday. Lap swim is also offered Saturday mornings.

Aquarium of the Bay

L'Aquarium of the Bay est un aquarium public situé sur l'artère The Embarcadero à San Francisco, en Californie. L'aquarium abrite des espèces aquatiques vivant dans la baie de San Francisco ou dans les eaux environnantes. L'aquarium est un membre accrédité de l'Association des zoos et aquariums. Histoire Projets initiaux et UnderWater World À l'origine, l'aquarium devait ouvrir au cours de l'été 1988 mais l'opposition de commerçants du quartier de Fisherman's Warf et de groupes environnementaux de la baie de San Francisco a repoussé le début de la construction au mois de juillet 1995. Les différends entre les acteurs concernaient notamment la superficie initiale du projet qui aurait nécessité de gagner plus de 2 000 m2 sur la baie. Différentes tractations avec des groupes environnementaux obligèrent l'aquarium à limiter l'affluence à 12 600 visiteurs par jour et à n'abriter que des espèces originaires de la baie. L'aquarium ouvre le 19 avril 1996 sous le nom d'UnderWater World à l'issue d'une construction estimée à 38 000 000 $. Le complexe abrite alors environ 4 000 poissons représentant plus de cent espèces. L'attraction phare de l'aquarium consistait en deux tunnels sous-marins de 110 m de longueur. Avant l'ouverture, la fréquentation annuelle attendue s'élevait à 1 600 000 visiteurs mais l'aquarium suscite des réactions très mitigées, les propriétaires envisagent de faire venir des espèces plus impressionnantes. Cependant, seulement quinze mois après l'ouverture, la fréquentation n'atteignait que 3 500 visiteurs par jour. UnderWater World se déclare en cessation de paiements le 10 mars 1999. Aquarium of the Bay En juin 2000, le complexe est vendu à un groupe d'actionnaires mené par BNP Paribas : UnderWater World prend le nom d'Aquarium of the Bay. La fréquentation stagne à 1 000 visites quotidiennes. Au cours de l'année 2001, le bâtiment profite d'une rénovation à 2 000 000 $ et de nouvelles espèces marines sont ajoutées : l'aquarium compte alors 60 000 spécimens représentant 273 espèces. En 2005, l'aquarium est mis en vente avec comme conditions que les espèces futures soient originaires de la baie et que l'aquarium se tourne vers l'éducation et la recherche. Une organisation environnementale locale, The Bay Institute, devient entièrement propriétaire de l'aquarium en juin 2009 pour 9 500 000 $. Animaux L'Aquarium abrite plus de 50 requins d'espèces indigènes parmi lesquelles : le requin plat-nez (Notorynchus cepedianus) ; le requin léopard (Triakis semifasciata) ; le requin-hâ ou milandre (Galeorhinus galeus) ; l'aiguillat commun (Squalus acanthias) ; l'émissole brune (Mustelus henlei) ; l'ange de mer du Pacifique (Squatina californica). Sous la direction de The Bay Institute, l'aquarium participe au marquage de spécimens de Requins Plat-nez afin d'étudier cette espèce qui se reproduit dans la baie de San Francisco.

Aquatic Park (Berkeley)

Aquatic Park is a public park in Berkeley, California, United States, located just east of the Eastshore Freeway (Interstate 80) between Ashby and University Avenues. The Works Progress Administration created the park in the 1930s simultaneously with the nearby Berkeley Yacht Harbor. Its centerpiece is an artificial mile-long lagoon that was cut off from San Francisco Bay by the creation of a causeway for the Eastshore Highway, during the construction of the approaches to the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, also in the 1930s. The lagoon still communicates with the Bay through culverts under the freeway (one in line with Ashby Avenue, the other in line with Grayson Street). The east shoreline of the lagoon used to be the original shoreline of San Francisco Bay. Park features Aquatic Park features picnic areas, "Dream Land for Kids"—a large children's playground, a pedestrian-bicycle path, and a disc golf course. The lagoon is used by the Berkeley Paddling and Rowing Club year round, and by the Berkeley Water Ski Club during the summer months. The lagoon is also used by the nonprofit organization, Waterside Workshops, for their youth boating and sailing, and boat rentals to the general public on weekends. Waterside Workshops also houses a community bike shop at the intersection of Bolivar Drive and Bancroft Way. Historically, the Aquatic Park lagoon was also a practice site for the University of California crew teams.

Filoli

Filoli ist eine unter Denkmalschutz stehende historische Villa aus dem Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts mit einer außergewöhnlichen Garten- und Parkanlage mit einer Fläche von ca. 2,6 km². Sie befindet sich in Woodside, Kalifornien, 86 Cañada Road, in den Bergen zwischen San José und San Francisco. Geschichte Das Haus wurde von dem kalifornischen Architekten Willis Polk für William Bowers Bourn II und seine Ehefrau Agnes entworfen und diente der Familie von 1917 bis 1936 als privater Wohnsitz. Bourn war Präsident der Spring Valley Water Company und Eigentümer einer Goldmine. Das Anwesen hat 48 Zimmer und 17 Kamine. Seinen Namen erhielt es durch die Kombination von 2-Buchstaben-Abkürzungen (Akronym), die William Bourns Lebensmotto „Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life“ (dt.: Kämpfe für eine gerechte Sache, Liebe deinen Nächsten, Lebe ein gutes Leben) wiedergeben. 1937, ein Jahr nach dem Tod von Bourn, wurde das Haus an William P. Roth und seine Frau Lurline Matson Roth, Erbin der Matson Navigation Company, verkauft. Seit 1975 gehört es dem National Trust for Historic Preservation und ist seit 1976 als Museum für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Der Garten gilt als einer der schönsten der Welt und wurde mehrfach prämiert. Er ist inzwischen ein öffentlicher Park und kann ebenfalls besichtigt werden. Verwaltet wird das gesamte Anwesen von einer eigenen Organisation, dem Filoli Center mit rund 30 Angestellten. Etwa die Hälfte davon ist für die Pflege des Parks und die Bepflanzung zuständig. Außerdem arbeiten etwa 1200 freiwillige Helfer auf der Anlage, u. a. im öffentlichen Café, in einer Bibliothek, als Gärtner oder Leiter der Besucherführungen. Der Park ist in seiner Anlage stark von europäischen Gartenanlagen beeinflusst. Die Parkarchitektur stammt von Bruce Porter. Der Park ist eine Anordnung verschiedener „Gartenräume“ mit Terrassen, Teichen und Rasenflächen. Zu den zahlreichen Bäumen gehören auch italienische Kiefern und über 250 Jahre alte Eichen. Im Frühling blühen hier 35.000 Tulpen. Der Baustil der Villa aus Backstein wird zum Historismus gerechnet, wobei hier ebenfalls europäische Elemente aufgegriffen wurden. In den USA spricht man von Georgian style. Der Grundriss des Hauses ist U-förmig mit einem Flügel für das Personal auf einer Seite und einem Ballsaal auf der anderen. Das Mobiliar stammt zum größten Teil aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Das Haus sowie das Grundstück dienten schon als Kulisse für viele Hollywood-Filme, u. a. George – Der aus dem Dschungel kam (1997) und The Game (1997). Außerdem war es Drehort für den Pilotfilm der Serie Der Denver-Clan und wurde später im Vorspann zur Serie als Wohnsitz der fiktiven Familie Carrington gezeigt. Im November 2023 trafen sich US-Präsident Joe Biden und der chinesische Staatspräsident Xi Jinping am Rande des APEC-Gipfels von San Francisco in Filoli zu Gesprächen.

Filoli

Filoli is een landgoed met een landhuis uit de beginjaren van de 20e eeuw. Het ligt in Woodside, 40 km ten zuiden van San Francisco in de Amerikaanse staat Californië. Het gehele landgoed is 265 ha groot en bij het landhuis ligt 6,5 ha aan aangelegde tuinen. Het staat onder bescherming van de Amerikaanse National Trust for Historic Preservation. Geschiedenis en stijl Filoli werd tussen 1915 en 1917 gebouwd voor het echtpaar William Bowers Bourn II en Agnes Moody Bourn. De uit San Francisco afkomstige architect Willis Polk ontwierp het landhuis. Hij had eerder ook al twee huizen van Bourn ontworpen. Bruce Porter was aangesteld om het echtpaar te helpen bij het inrichten van de tuinen, die tussen 1917 en 1922 werden aangelegd. Het geheel werd ontworpen met alle kenmerken die ook in Engelse landgoederen teruggevonden zouden kunnen worden. De naam van het landhuis en -goed is een acroniem van het levensmotto van William. Die luidde: "Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life", in het Nederlands: "Vecht voor een eerlijke zaak; Heb je naaste lief; Leef een goed leven". Na de dood van het echtpaar in 1936 werd het landgoed in 1937 verkocht aan het echtpaar William R. Poth. Zij legden de botanische tuinen aan en mevrouw Poth doneerde het landgoed in 1975 aan de Amerikaanse National Trust. Sinds 1976 is het een museum en zijn de tuinen toegankelijk voor bezoekers. Het landhuis wordt gerekend tot het historisme. In de Verenigde Staten spreekt men van Georgian style. Het grondvlak van het huis heeft een U-vorm. Het meubilair in het huis stamt voor het grootste deel uit de 18e eeuw. Bijzonderheden Filoli is een van de laatste landgoederen op het Schiereiland van San Francisco en is van de tuinen het langst in de oorspronkelijke vorm gebleven. Het landgoed heeft voor meerdere Hollywood-films als speellocatie gediend. Het landhuis is vooral bekend uit de soapserie Dynasty. Ook de films George of the Jungle en The Game zijn voor een gedeelte gefilmd op Filoli.
