THE PRESIDIO - AN EMERGING NATIONAL PARK AT THE GOLDEN GATE

Just ten years ago, this historic U.S. Army base began its transformation toward becoming a new national park. Now, a decade later, this former military post is emerging as a unique and vital park with an engaged community. The Parks Conservancy has been actively involved in the Presidio’s transition for more than  years through such activities as advocating to save the former post for public use, helping to create a vision for its future, and bringing neglected areas to life as public park space.
