TylerMarch 13, 2012trails all lead to hidden art. get a drink at PSC, find the warming hut at the end of crispy field, or just go bowling for all you can eat/bowl sundays. i lived here for over a year- LOVE IT.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Lacey CappsAugust 14, 2013One of my absolute favorite places in San Fran! Gorgeous views, dog friendly, perfect for a long walk/picnic/run. Always a bit chilly/windy so plan accordingly. Tons of history, architecture, etc.- Caroline BrewerAugust 1, 2012Start at the southern side of the park and make your way to the Golden Gate on the bay ridge trail or enter from the Marina and walk along Crissy Field for spectacular views of the bridge.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Carol CecilJune 13, 2014Great way to get pics of the Golden Gate Bridge without having to go drive across and wait for pics. Beautiful other picture opportunities too. Bring a hoodie, its very windy!- Pavan KulkarniJune 10, 2017Beautiful views if the Alcatraz and the Pacific on the presidio loop trail. Park near the club house and do the loop of around 3.8 miles

The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 2, 2015For a quiet respite while in San Francisco, head to the historic Presidio, home to over 60,000 trees, many walking trails and six vista point overlooks.
A must-see/drive thru location in SF. Gorgeous park and views. Oh, and I was born here when it was a military base! Lucas Films office is here. Find it, and right outside you'll see the Yoda fountain!- Fodor's TravelJanuary 29, 2016The Presidio was established as a military base, but in recent years the number of visitor attractions, many of which are free, has steadily grown.

Thomas ColtonMarch 27, 2016One of the most beautiful parks you will ever see. There's a reason why people film here whenever they're in SF. LUCASFILMS HQ is also on the site - look for the Yoda statue
Jean-Michel HoffmanAugust 24, 2014Taking a run through the Presidio on a sunny morning is the best way to get inspired. Run through to a high vantage point and look out on the bay. Nothing beats it.
Anton GaddiMarch 19, 2019The Presidio has awesome hiking trails and beautiful views, especially if you know what to do and where to go.
So much to do and see... my favorite at the moment FOOD TRUCK (Off the Grid) Sundays
Alexa Jane BrooksJanuary 6, 2015Close to Baker Beach and 10 minutes away from the city. The apartments used to be army barracks. This is such a beautiful place!
Vera McauliffeMarch 19, 2018People need to understand that San Francisco it’s not just Glden Gate and Alcatraz!!! This park it’s wonderful 👍🏻
Lots of history if you like that. I go for the architecture... Also it's a great shortcut lol
So much to see and do; secret rope swings, romantic walks, blackberries to pick.- Kim OwensOctober 19, 2012A gorgeous park to walk in if you're in the need to clear your head or just want a bit of a nature fix that's right within the city limits. Miss this place so much.
BV MeyerSeptember 26, 2012Dog friendly but must be on leash in most areas. You can find some trails that lead Dow to Chrissy Field that are off leash.
Barbara BartlettAugust 15, 2015Love going for an early morning hike.... And just soaking in the beauty around me.
ExploratoriumNovember 1, 2011Did you know that the Presidio was founded in 1776 and is an active archeological site? Imagine how it may have looked nearly 250 years ago! To learn more, here’s a Science in the City video we made: Read more
Bike here from the other side of SF for a long but enjoyable ride.
Ninah RandolphApril 5, 2017Really nice views of the bay. Mostly flat so not a super difficult walk/hike
- Picnic at the presidio as well as finding the good views of the golden gate bridge.
The most interesting, cultural, natural, stunning, historic place in the city!
ShabeebDecember 3, 2013exhausting but worthwhile & scenic route to the golden gate bridge from here.
Ross MAugust 18, 2011make sure you take a picture by the bay..near the sand w/ the golden gate bridge in the background.

"When in the Presidio, you must stop by Lucasfilm and see the Yoda fountain in the front of their entrance. Just tell the security guard you want to see Yoda, and they'll let you park briefly."
