Park Projects

This project improved the experience and safety of visitors along a particularly tight and heavily trafficked part of the Bay Trail at the corner of Laguna and Bay in San Francisco (aka "the Squeeze").

This dramatic 3,600-foot pedestrian trail traverses the wild, coastal bluffs of the Presidio and takes sure-footed hikers from the cliffs down to the rocky shore.

Since 2009, NPS and Parks Conservancy staff have worked together to create a self-sustaining ecosystem at Muir Beach that would improve habitat for endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout, establish breeding ponds for threatened California red-legged frogs, and decrease flooding on nearby roads.

Restoration at Hawk Hill has helped enhance endangered Mission blue butterfly habitat and prevent further degradation of historic structures by removing non-native invasive trees and restoring the native grassland. Over the next several years, the project will include new and enhanced trails, visitor amenities and signs, and continued habitat restoration and historic resource protection.
