San Francisco Presidio Tunnel Tops Park Opening This Sunday



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JULY 15, 2022

Presidio Tunnel Tops Park will open Sunday with performances, food vendors, talks, and public art. With its opening, San Francisco will get its newest waterfront park, spanning 14 acres and creating a comfortable pedestrian connection from the Main Parade Lawn to Crissy Field Beach. The day has been co-curated by the Partnership for the Presidio and community members.



In email correspondences with YIMBY, the chief park officer of the Presidio Trust, Michael Boland, describes the larger significance of the Tunnel Tops. “Guiding the transformation of the Presidio from an army post to public national park site over the past 27 years, creating a real destination for visitors has been nothing short of magical.” Boland went on to say “the Presidio Tunnel Tops is the largest piece of that effort to date, and really shows we’ve arrived as a beautiful public space for all people. I couldn’t be more thrilled to see this come to fruition.”

See the park website here for more details about the opening day activities.

The Presidio Tunnel Tops is designed by James Corner Field Operations, the same landscape architect responsible for New York’s High Line. The park provides a beautiful transition from the Presidio Plaza down to the Crissy Field Marsh at sea level. Over 200,000 native and drought-tolerant plants will line the expansive open space.
