Join Us for a Program

We provide unique programs for families, teens, and community groups throughout the Golden Gate National Parks in partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the Presidio Trust. Participants in our urban environmental school programs also use our new state-of-the-art facility and the "living classroom" of Crissy Field to explore the interconnection between natural and urban environments.

Looking for specific opportunities related to your interests? We offer public programs year-round. View our program calendar for general listing of upcoming events, camps, and workshops.

Relax at the Beach Hut Cafe or Café Crissy

The Beach Hut Café has new offerings like refreshing fruit smoothies and frozen yogurt to beat the heat, sensible snack and meal options, and specialty coffee drinks to start your morning off right. The Beach Hut has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating or take advantage of the walk-up window when you're on-the-go. Conveniently located across from Crissy Field Marsh, Café Crissy also serves up organic and locally sourced food and beverages. Café Crissy will remain open through Presidio Parkway construction.

Explore Crissy Field Shoreline

When you come visit the Center, we hope you stay to explore Crissy Field. Crissy Field is the area along the northern shoreline of the Presidio stretching from the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marina. Old Mason Street and the Golden Gate Promenade run parallel to Crissy Field creating a scenic route for walkers, cyclists, and joggers. Along the way to the Golden Gate Bridge, view the vibrant display of wildflowers (February through June) or spot pelicans, gulls, and other frequent flyers around Crissy Field Marsh. Then stop in to explore the Farallones Marine Sanctuary visitor center located in the old Coast Guard station. Visitors to the Warming Hut at the west end of Crissy Field can browse the bookstore for park souvenirs and gifts or enjoy organic and locally sourced food and beverages from the café. Crissy Field is also a perfect setting for weddings, athletic events, and special gatherings. If you want to plan a small informal picnic to round our your visit, picnic tables and barbecue areas are available on a first come, first served basis.

Public restrooms are located near the Warming Hut and fishing pier at the west end of Crissy Field. Additional public restrooms are located just beyond the marsh at the East Beach parking lot (look for the orange windsock) and behind Crissy Field Center on the Marina.
