Presidio of San Francisco

The Presidio spans 1,500 acres of land, featuring coastal trails, beaches, and forested areas alongside the northern edge of San Francisco Peninsula.

The site functioned as a military installation for three nations from 1776 until 1994, beginning as a Spanish outpost and concluding as a United States Army base.

The park contains multiple museums, exhibition spaces, and educational centers that present military artifacts and document the complex history of California's development.

The Presidio offers free public transportation within its grounds through the PresidiGo Shuttle system, connecting visitors to multiple parking areas and trail points.

The park includes a 300-acre forest containing over 60,000 trees, planted by the U.S. Army in the late 1800s on previously barren coastal land.
