The National Park Service, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, and the Presidio Trust launched the public engagement process for a multi-year effort to revitalize the Crissy Field area of the Presidio.
Parks Conservancy President & CEO Christine Lehnertz on how national parks—and places like Alcatraz Island—can help us honor the past, spark connection in the present, and boldly shape a more just, inclusive future belonging to all of us.
“Protecting Alcatraz means protecting a global site of reflection, where people come to learn and grow,” said Christine Lehnertz, President & CEO of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. “If we lose that, we lose more than a landmark—we lose an opportunity to do better.”
The Parks Conservancy and our partners work hard to improve trails and park sites, and if you want to be a true park insider, you'll hit the freshest spots first.
Get a sneak peek at new things to find on the island as we celebrate 50 years of Alcatraz being open to the public as a national park site, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
