The Presidio of San Francisco (originally, El Presidio Real de San Francisco or The Royal Fortress of Saint Francis) is a park and former U.S. Army post on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula in San Francisco, California, and is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It had been a fortified location since September 17, 1776, when New Spain established the presidio to gain a foothold in Alta California and the San Francisco Bay. It passed to Mexico in 1820, which in turn passed it to the United States in 1848. As part of a military reduction program under the Base Realignment process in 1988, Congress voted to end the Presidio's status as an active U.S. Army installation. On October 1, 1994, it was transferred to the National Park Service, ending 219 years of military use and beginning its next phase of mixed commercial and public use. In 1996, the United States Congress created the Presidio Trust to oversee and manage 80% of the park's interior, with the National Park Service managing the coastal 20%. In a first-of-its-kind structure, Congress mandated that the Presidio Trust make the Presidio financially self-sufficient. The Presidio Trust achieved the goal in 2005. The Presidio is at the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge and is crossed by the bridge approach road. The park has many wooded areas, hills, and scenic vistas overlooking the Golden Gate itself, the Bridge, San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. It was designated a California Historical Landmark in 1933 and a National Historic Landmark in 1962. The Presidio of San Francisco is a national treasure and a local jewel. It invites visitors to glimpse rare birds and native blossoms; to experience history through carefully preserved buildings and landscapes; and to enjoy a picnic, a concert, or a contemplative walk in the woods. There is truly something for everyone. The Presidio is located at the Golden Gate, where the Pacific Ocean meets San Francisco Bay. The land was in constant use as a military post for two centuries, first by Spain, then by a newly independent Mexico, and finally by the United States. Today, it is both a distinctive national park site within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and a National Historic Landmark District. It is a place in motion, attracting national attention for how history and nature are being preserved and for the innovative ideas and places taking shape. Golden Gate Overlook is a curved concrete plaza that hugs the edge of the coastal bluffs, mimicking the design of the former military fortifications and artillery platforms that surround it. Wooden benches invite you to pause and enjoy a unique viewpoint — the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge perfectly aligned between historic cypress trees. Or look down the hill for a view of native flora and winding footpaths below. Connected by trails, the park features more than a dozen vista points where you’ll find jaw-dropping views of Presidio and San Francisco landmarks. Whether you’re seeking Golden Gate Bridge views or a meditative moment in nature, you’ll enjoy sightseeing at the Presidio’s majestic vantage points. Each overlook can be found along the park’s hiking and biking trails. From Crissy Field Overlook, you’ll see the beaches and wetlands of the Presidio’s northern shore against the backdrop of San Francisco Bay and the city skyline. Immigrant Point Overlook showcases the gateway through which newcomers arrived.
