About Crissy Field

Crissy Field is a public recreation area on the northern shore of the San Francisco Peninsula, just east of the Golden Gate Bridge. A former US Army airfield in the Presidio that closed after 1974, it is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area; the National Park Service took control in 1994 and restored the site. It has beaches, dunes and a restored tidal marsh where 17 fish species and 135 bird species have been recorded, and the Golden Gate Promenade runs along the beach to the Warming Hut.
