Golden Gate Park
Born of sand dunes in the late 1800s, Golden Gate Park today is a rich blend of gardens, play spaces and museum culture. 
 

Ocean Beach
Walk from the east end of Golden Gate Park to Ocean Beach. Golden Gate Park will lull you with its shaded trails and vegetation-bound lakes — emerge on the west side and the horizon pops open at that point, it’s just you and the Pacific. 
 

Aquatic Park
Aquatic Park is a number of parks in one. It’s the aquatic playground of Dolphin Club members who brave the Bay’s ice waters for their swims. It’s also home to San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, a treasure zone of San Francisco’s maritime history and historic ships. 

Crissy Field
Crissy Field, in the Presidio, is a former airfield and success story of habitat restoration. On a sunny day, the aesthetic of the Bay, the bridge, and views to the city are spectacular.
 

The Presidio
For more than 200 years, the beautiful land of the Presidio was a military post. In 1994, the Presidio was transferred to the National Park Service and is now home to businesses, non-profit organizations, walkways, secluded green spaces, and a growing number of restaurants and recreational venues.
