Formerly a military base, now this beautiful scenic area is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area administered by the National Park Service (NPS). The Visitor Center, located in Building 102 on Montgomery Street (near the main post parade ground) is a good place to collect information for your visit.

The Presidio's attractions include picnic areas, beaches, and a golf course. The Presidio is also rich in history -- be sure to check out the museum and then explore the Presidio by walking or driving through the miles of trails and roads that circle around the former base.

National Indian Justice Center
Coming soon are the California Indian Museum, the Golden Gate Institute for Indigenous Cultures, and an indigenous village that will provide space for performing arts events, traditional festivals, and crafts expositions, all to be sponsored by the National Indian Justice Center.

Crissy Field
This nearby waterfront area is currently undergoing restoration, which the National Park Service promises will result in "100 acres of spectacular open space for recreation, education, and enjoyment."
