trails all lead to hidden art . get a drink at PSC, find the warming hut at the end of crispy field , or just go bowling for all you can eat/bowl sundays. i lived here for over a year- LOVE IT.

Lacey Capps

One of my absolute favorite places in San Fran! Gorgeous views , dog friendly , perfect for a long walk/picnic/run. Always a bit chilly/windy so plan accordingly. Tons of history, architecture , etc.

Caroline Brewer

Start at the southern side of the park and make your way to the Golden Gate on the bay ridge trail or enter from the Marina and walk along Crissy Field for spectacular views of the bridge .

Carol Cecil

Great way to get pics of the Golden Gate Bridge without having to go drive across and wait for pics. Beautiful other picture opportunities too. Bring a hoodie, its very windy!

Pavan Kulkarni

Beautiful views if the Alcatraz and the Pacific on the presidio loop trail . Park near the club house and do the loop of around 3.8 miles

The Ritz-Carlton

For a quiet respite while in San Francisco, head to the historic Presidio , home to over 60,000 trees , many walking trails and six vista point overlooks.

Thomas Colton

One of the most beautiful parks you will ever see. There's a reason why people film here whenever they're in SF. LUCASFILMS HQ is also on the site - look for the Yoda statue

Taking a run through the Presidio on a sunny morning is the best way to get inspired. Run through to a high vantage point and look out on the bay . Nothing beats it.

Alexa Jane Brooks

Close to Baker Beach and 10 minutes away from the city . The apartments used to be army barracks. This is such a beautiful place!

Buttercup D

A must-see/drive thru location in SF. Gorgeous park and views . Oh, and I was born here when it was a military base ! Lucas Films office is here. Find it, and right outside you'll see the Yoda fountain !

The Presidio was established as a military base , but in recent years the number of visitor attractions , many of which are free, has steadily grown. Read more

People need to understand that San Francisco it’s not just Glden Gate and Alcatraz !!! This park it’s wonderful ????????

Anton Gaddi

The Presidio has awesome hiking trails and beautiful views , especially if you know what to do and where to go.

Not far from the city . There are some light trails . Good for hike .

A gorgeous park to walk in if you're in the need to clear your head or just want a bit of a nature fix that's right within the city limits. Miss this place so much.

Such an amazing place to explore! Highly recommended

Lots of history if you like that. I go for the architecture ... Also it's a great shortcut lol

Joanne

Go during a foggy day, and it's absolutely breathtaking.

Barbara Bartlett

Love going for an early morning hike .... And just soaking in the beauty around me.

Dog friendly but must be on leash in most areas. You can find some trails that lead Dow to Chrissy Field that are off leash.

Danielle Ebstein

Picnic at the presidio as well as finding the good views of the golden gate bridge .

Ninah Randolph

Really nice views of the bay . Mostly flat so not a super difficult walk/hike

Did you know that the Presidio was founded in 1776 and is an active archeological site? Imagine how it may have looked nearly 250 years ago! To learn more, here’s a Science in the City video we made: Read more
