Whether you're planning a quick afternoon escape, a full day of hiking and sightseeing, or an extended visit to San Francisco, there's always something new to discover. Here are the iconic destinations in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area for any trip to the parks.

At this annual event, Support for Families hosts a family fun day at the Crissy Field Center on Presidio Tunnel Tops! Learn how to get there, what to expect, and other accessibility options. 

This fall, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening at one of the most beloved corners of our national parks as the Trails Forever Dinner returns to Crissy Field on Friday, September 25, 2026. You can expect a beautiful evening at Crissy Field’s East Beach with dinner, live music, and the joy of supporting a cause that enriches the parks in which we live our lives.

Our local national parks face increasing demands: aging infrastructure, staffing shortages, and the need for greater accessibility. Your support of the Trails Forever Dinner is a powerful way to meet the moment—helping fund critical park improvements, youth leadership development, and the stewardship of more than 80,000 acres of urban national parkland that stretches from Muir Woods and the Marin Headlands through Crissy Field and down to Mori Point and Phleger Estate.

Discover fall foliage, hiking trails, and things to do in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area—from leaf-peeping hikes to raptor watching in the Bay Area's national parks.

If you're searching for unique outdoor party ideas or inspiring outdoor birthday party ideas, the park offers some of the most scenic settings in the San Francisco Bay Area.
