Introduction
The Presidio of San Francisco is a 1,480-acre urban national park at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge, originally a Spanish military fort that passed through Mexican and U.S. Army hands until 1994, when it was transferred to the National Park Service as a blend of history, nature, and culture. The site preserves eighteenth-century Spanish adobe chapels, nineteenth-century officers housing, WWII barracks, and forest bunkers, alongside modern cultural institutions such as the Lucasfilm digital arts campus and the Walt Disney Family Museum. With San Francisco most complete coastal redwood and eucalyptus plantations, Crissy Field waterfront grass, and the best Golden Gate views, it is a comprehensive destination for hiking, biking, picnicking, and history walks.
