Park Projects

Completed in May 2010, the Park Trail provides a north-south trail corridor through the Presidio, extending 1.7 miles from the 14th Avenue Gate to Crissy Field.

The 2.1-mile Presidio Promenade is a major east-west trail bringing visitors from the park's urban edge at the Lombard Gate to the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Park Stewardship program has focused on removing invasive plants to restore the Mission Blue butterfly habitat at this site in Marin County.

Once a military site covered with asphalt and debris, Crissy Field was transformed into a beloved national park in 2001 thanks to the generosity and energy of the community.

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.

After centuries of slaking the thirst of its denizens, El Polín Spring itself has been, well, refreshed. In 2011, a dramatic phase of improvements was completed by the Presidio Trust, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, and National Park Service.

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.

There is so much about Mount Tamalpais that binds us. Now we’ve launched an approach to the care and stewardship of the mountain that is just as unifying and all-embracing: the Tamalpais Lands Collaborative (TLC).

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 Lands End Lookout welcomes visitors and orients them to the rugged landscape and evocative human stories contained within this site's panoramic views.
