Golden Gate National Parks Celebrates Fort Baker Transformation

Landmark National Park Now Home to Cavallo Point Lodge and Institute at the Golden Gate

On June 12, 2008, under the soaring, red-orange span of the Golden Gate Bridge, a ceremony at Fort Baker tied a historic past to a brilliant new future and marked a milestone for California and the National Park Service. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (CA-08), Speaker of the House; Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (CA-06); Congressman John Murtha (PA-12); and Congressman Ralph Regula (OH-16) championed the Fort Baker project and led the Flag Day celebration to commemorate the 10-year transformation of Fort Baker from a former military post to a national park site for all.
