The Presidio of San Francisco

The Presidio is one of America’s most unique and visited national park sites, located at the center of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Spanning 1,500 acres adjacent to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, its rare natural habits, inspiring views, and world-class trails are a global attraction yet a bus ride away for millions of people – all available with no entrance fee. Despite its urban location, it’s among the most biologically diverse national park sites in America. Its layered past as a home to native peoples and a military post under three flags has resulted in a setting that’s much like a small town, with historic buildings reinvented as public museums, restaurants, hotels, gyms, as well as homes and offices. The Presidio is home to 3,000 residents, more than 200 organizations, and hosts 10 million visits annually.



The park’s newest attraction is Presidio Tunnel Tops, 14 acres of brand-new parkland built over the top of highway tunnels that connect the interior of the Presidio to the waterfront for the first time in decades. The site features overlooks with stunning views of the City, the bridge and the bay, gardens and paths, grassy meadows and picnic areas, public transit and visitor services, a campfire circle, and a two-acre nature playground and a Field Station for self-guided eco-exploration. Since opening in July of 2022, the hugely popular destination hosted nearly 1.8 million visits, welcomed 100 community-based organizations, and featured a dozen large community-curated events drawing thousands from across the Bay Area. The nearby Presidio Pop Up food trucks offer unique cuisine from around the world, feeding hungry visitors daily.



The Presidio Trust is the federal agency that stewards the Presidio, in partnership with the National Park Service and with support from the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy Learn more at?www.presidio.gov.?
