Tunnel Top

I was lucky enough to be at the park during fleet week. The families at the park that day was able to watch the Naval Airshow with the Blue Angels. United Airlines also did a fly by, that was awesome to witness. It's a beautiful picnic area with the beautiful views.

Tunnel Tops in the Presidio has to be the highlight of SF for locals and tourists to enjoy. This park offer beautiful vista of the GG bridge , Marin headland and the bay. Bring a lunch and have a great time!

Beautiful park in the Presidio, just a year old. Great place for a picnic, family gathering, or a stroll. Close to the Palace of Fine Arts. A pretty cool one of a kind kid's wood playground. Il Parca Cafe serves up great options for breakfast & and lunch, and if you want something different, there are food trucks as well.

Great place to visit! Parking was easy and not too far of a walk. Beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge and a well-maintained park. Benches and tables available. Restrooms were clean.

A very nice place to show our visitors. It offers a gorgeous view of Golden Gate Bridge, Crissy field, and the bay. Alcatraz is quite far but visible. Our visitors enjoyed the open space, the panoramic view, and the ride there. Yes, we left our car at Golden Gate Park and took Waymo there. Our visitors were thrilled by the robocar and the stunning views along the scenic route. Highly recommended!

This garden has filled in beautifully after its 2022 debut! You’ll find glorious vistas across to the bridge and Alcatraz, wide open spaces and plenty of places to sit. The South African flora is my favourite, but there are plenty of California natives as well.

Beautifully landscaped area, with breathtaking views of the Golden Gate, SF Bay, SF city skyline. Plenty of space for all to enjoy the outdoors.

Such a great spot to come with the family. A ton of open space for kids and dogs to enjoy with gorgeous views of the GG bridge and Alcatraz. Definitely a great place to visit and have picnics or just take a stroll.

Beautiful use of this historic military base that, as kids, we only ever dreamed of seeing. Hats off to Pelosi for securing this land for public use! The expansive lawns to kick back on with pups and friends, having lunch from an amazing food carts (recommend the Bulgarian one). The fire pit is huge and a nice warming spot before pulling up a rocker to watch the views of the beautiful iconic bridge with kite surfers zoom below. The playground isn’t your average playscape; it’s broken down into 4, with natural wooden structures to climb on. Style and sustainability had to be the priority when building. 100% nailed it on landscaping and trails. Utilizing the restored historic structures to become businesses like restaurants, Inns, there’s a movie theater and so much more to see and explore. I will return. It’s clean, family and friends friendly. Please allot at least an hour for the visitors center alone, and the gift shop is a fantastic gift buying at reasonable prices.

Such a wonderful park. Lots to see, grass areas to sit, lawn chairs, cool wooden benches, and a lil cafe to grab a bite. I love they way they used the space above the over pass. There was an amazing kids park down below.

This is one of our favorite spots in the city ❤️. Well run, clean, with amazing playground and views of the city and Golden Gate bridge. Great spot for nice sunrise and sunset. Don't skip visitor center and filed station, so many things to learn plus you can buy a souvenir there. There are also numerous food trucks in the upper part, close to the visitor center.

All I'm gone to say is that I was amazed by the Presidio Tunnels Top, moving back to the San Francisco Bay Area and bringing my child to play at the playground was fun. My toddler loved it and didn't want to leave, it's a great place to hangout with family and even for dates! It was clean and well taken care of, I will be going back for sure. Amazing views and great weather makes Tunnels Top magical!

Incredible. Beautiful. Clean and well-run. The "Field Station" is full of fun an educational activities for kids. The bathrooms are immaculate. The landscaping is top-notch. There is lots of seating and walkways that are beautifully made. Just a wonderful place that makes you think, "Huh...I guess that sometimes our government can build things that are good."

Very interesting; you can't even tell that you are over a busy highway when on the tunnel-top park. You can walk to the side and see through a fence the opening to the tunnel. The Park is a nice little city park, with a nice mix of paths, grassy area for picnics (also area with picnic tables) and various vegetation that is interesting. It all has a really great view of Golden Gate Bridge.

Troy Windhorst

💚 This is a well-designed network of concrete plazas and pathways providing panoramic views of the bay and Golden Gate. 💚 Amenities: benches, chairs, playgrounds, restrooms, and picnic tables—all looking good and in good shape. 💚 The “tops” is just one segment in a larger waterfront park. While it’s a solid choice on its own, when combined with all that the waterfront has to offer, it’s a wonderful place to chill.

Lawrence Louie

Amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge, but very windy because there's just a hill blocking the Pacific Ocean. Very well maintained park with a large playground for the kids. A newly opened ranger station that has exhibits showing the wildlife that lives in the Presidio. A small cafe for food. and other attractions like the Disney's house and the LucasArts lobby that's open to the public. Great place to chill especially on a hot day. Highly recommend.

Really wonderful park, I was truly amazed by the design and how well it has been kept. Very clean, the grass is well maintained and alive. The only drawback for me was that the wasn't any clear signage anywhere regarding restrooms. The park is bigger than what I anticipated and I didn't see any restrooms throughout

Tunnel Tops in Presidio National Park (“PTT”) – the new 14-acre national park and recreational area is situated on a hillside adjacent to our San Francisco National Cemetery 🫡, which opened to the public on July 17, 2022 at cost of nearly $118 million of taxpayer’s money, is atop six-lane highway tunnels built in 2018 to replace the old Doyle Drive connecting US-101 to downtown San Francisco, which was deemed “seismically unsafe” in the aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. However, the Presidio Tunnel Tops offers panoramic views of The City’s landmarks from the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island, the Marin Headlands, the Bay Bridge East Span Skyway to the Palace of Fine Arts and downtown skyscrapers. The Presidio Tunnel Tops in addition to scenic overlooks also features two picnic grounds, children’s playground, paths, gardens, lawns, and two meadows with roughly 200,000 plants, half of which are said to be native to “El Presidio” dating from Ohlone time and a plaza accommodating food, drink, transit and visitor services including modern-day all-gender restrooms. The Presidio Tunnel Tops project consists of the four engineering zones – 1)the Outpost Play Areas and Crissy Youth Campus, 2)the Embankment, 3)the Upper Plaza and Gardens, and 4)the Tunnel Tops. Such ingenious design is to “protect the site from sea level rise and saltwater intrusion, protect the site from rising groundwater, and create capacity within the site to store stormwater until the tide subsides.” [*Wait a minute is the “Sunset Doom” built by cutting a major traffic artery of four-lane scenic drive or the GHW considered a “Park,” too? 😔 Who is “on the right side of history,” Dude?😉] The Presidio Tunnel Tops is truly a new iconic of The City and a “must see” San Francisco destination - for visitors from across our great nation and around the world. “On peut se voir demain ou c'est mort!” 😂 ❶Muni Bus #43 (“Masonic”) traverses the Presidio and stops right in front of the Transit Center at the entrance. It further connects you to Fort Mason near Pier 39 through Lombard Street or brings you back via Masonic to neighborhood of Richmond on Geary Boulevard, Haight, Inner Sunset or Excelsior. {*The Consulate General of Portugal em rota is located on the corner of Presidio Ave. and Washington St.} ❷Muni Bus #30 (“Stockton”) stops near the parking lot of Sports Basement will take you to Marina District through Chestnut St., the Piers through North Point St., North Beach and Chinatown, Union Square and Caltrain. ❸ Muni Bus #28 (“19th Avenue”) has two options to catch near the PTT: 1) Richardson Ave. and Francisco St. near the Palace of Fine Arts and 2) Golden Gate Bridge through a short walk from Old Mason Street to Lincoln Blvd. will take you back to Russian Hill/Marina via Lombard Street, Fisherman’s Wharf via North Point Street, Richmond, Sunset via 19th Avenue to Daly City Bart in Daly City, California. ⚠️[*Make sure you look carefully at the direction sign on the bus at the Golden Gate Bridge Parking Lot: “Fisherman’s Wharf” vis-à-vis “Daly City Bart.” ⚠️]

I was lucky enough to be at the park during fleet week. The families at the park that day was able to watch the Naval Airshow with the Blue Angels. United Airlines also did a fly by, that was awesome to witness. It's a beautiful picnic area with the beautiful views.

Jacklynn Sparks

So nice we went for the airshow it was very cool to see all the old military barracks and grounds. They have great food trucks and clean restroom the restroom are unisex so that was a little wired

What a wonderful urban green space overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Perfect for a stroll, picknicking, and people watching. The tunnel tops connect the main lawn of the Presidio to Crissy Field. You won’t think you’re on top of a highway!

We love the Presidio Tunnel Tops so much, we visit as often as we can. The NPS staff are fantastic and we love being able to do so much in one space. Such a beautiful space. ✨✨Pro Tip: If you're googling directions make sure you discern PRESIDIO Tunnel Tops because there's another VERY different Tunnel Top park on the other side of the city. 😂 You won't have quite the same views or experience. 🤔✨✨
