The Formerly Incarcerated Speaker Series is a program on Alcatraz Island that lifts up and highlights the voices of people who have spent time inside of jails and prisons.
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.
At this annual event, Support for Families hosts a family fun day at the Crissy Field Center on Presidio Tunnel Tops! Attendees learn about inclusive recreation, after-school and summer programs available in San Francisco, and explore one of San Francisco’s newest accessible parks.
Watch hawks trace circles in the sky from rolling hills in the Marin Headlands. Besides its wide-screen vistas of the Pacific and the Golden Gate, Hawk Hill offers fascinating wildlife experiences. It is the best place to witness the fall raptor migration and also provides habitat for the Mission blue butterfly.
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.
Both the Presidio of San Francisco and Fort Baker, two national parks bookending the Golden Gate Bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area, often serve as the scenic inspiration for the legendary Starfleet headquarters and Starfleet Academy.
