-Containing [[Mt Davidson|Mt. Davidson]], the highest peak in Rancho San Miguel and San Francisco, this 175.27 acre tract was offered by the Residential Development Company in 1914. It was not until the mid-1930s, however, that this area fully developed. The stockholder report dated August 10, 1914, stated two trails developed by the RDC were already popular to pedestrians and equestrians. The report continued, "When conditions justify it, a survey will be made of at least one of these proposed roads leading to Mt. Davidson, and if the cost is not too great it is our opinion that the construction of one of the scenic avenues might be undertaken. Assistant City Engineer, Mr. Ranson, has requested that this peak be reserved from sale as the City will in the event of the acquisition of the [[WATER! WATER! | Spring Valley Water System]], need several acres of land at the summit for a future reservoir site." Such road development never happened largely due to the efforts of State Parks Commissioner Madie Brown and the Parent Teachers Association of the Commodore Sloat School. They saved the forest creating [[Mt Davidson|Mt. Davidson]] as undeveloped space which eventually became a city park of 38 acres. It was dedicated on December 20, 1929. Glenn Gullmes, coordinator of the last several Mt. Davidson Sunrise Services, explained the history of the cross on Mt. Davidson. "A wooden cross was built atop Mt. Davidson in 1923, coinciding with the first Easter Sunrise service on April 1 of that year.

 "The 103 foot permanent cross that now stands at the center of the park was inspired by James G. Decatur and brought to fruition largely through the efforts of A.S. Baldwin, Clarence F. Pratt, and Rev. Homes K, Pitman (program director of 25 Easter sunrise services).
