The Parks Conservancy and National Park Service began improvements to the Bay Trail at Battery East in 2008, with the construction of bicycle, pedestrian, and accessible paths where formal trails did not previously exist.

The Presidio Tunnel Tops is the newest national park experience coming in Spring 2022. It will be a place where visitors and residents can gather with friends and family to play and learn, take in panoramic views of the bay and city, experience culture and community, and launch their adventure in the Presidio and across the Golden Gate National Parks. 

This dramatic 3,600-foot pedestrian trail traverses the wild, coastal bluffs of the Presidio and takes sure-footed hikers from the cliffs down to the rocky shore.

Since 2009, NPS and Parks Conservancy staff have worked together to create a self-sustaining ecosystem at Muir Beach that would improve habitat for endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout, establish breeding ponds for threatened California red-legged frogs, and decrease flooding on nearby roads.

The multi-use Rodeo Valley Trail is edged by grassy, wind-swept hillsides as it winds through the heart of the Marin Headlands. Recent improvements to this historic ranch road include realigned segments and bridges to improve the experience of trail users while protecting restored wetlands.
