The Parks Conservancy’s signature project, Crissy Field, was transformed starting in 2001 from a former military airfield into a beloved national park site through the generosity of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund and Colleen and Robert Haas, as well as thousands of community volunteers and donors.

Visioning and planning efforts for Aquatic Park and Fort Mason are underway. We’re looking at improving Muni Pier, Hyde Street Pier, and circulation between the parks. There are things we haven’t thought about yet, and we need your ideas! 

An audio tour, " Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour" is available for you when you are on the island!

We get more mild winters here in the Golden Gate National Parks then some of our friends at parks like Yosemite or Yellowstone—but we certainly do have subtle seasonal changes to enjoy.

Two closed-off stairwells lead down from the first floor of the Alcatraz Cellhouse to a lower, blocked-off basement level called the Citadel, one of the earliest structures on Alcatraz. Through the digital resources on this page, this site and its history can be observed and interpreted virtually.
