Website Directions 415-561-4323

Crissy Field is a restored waterfront park and former military airfield located along San Francisco Bay in the Presidio. Visitors can stroll or bike along the flat promenade, relax on the sandy beach, and explore the restored tidal marsh habitat. The area features expansive grassy lawns, picnic spots, and unmatched views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.

Quick tip: Dress in layers, as breeze and fog off the bay can cause sudden temperature drops even on sunny days.
