The newest major addition to a national park, Presidio Tunnel Tops, is where hundreds of children will clamber, run, fall, and splash with the Golden Gate Bridge wreathed in fog as a backdrop.
They say youth is wasted on the young, but what about a playground with a view? That, after all, is what the youth of San Francisco have been given at the newest major addition to a national park—Presidio Tunnel Tops. Now, every day, hundreds of children will clamber, run, fall, and splash with the Golden Gate Bridge wreathed in fog as a backdrop.
But, there was one major flaw. The highway bringing people out to the Golden Gate Bridge sliced across the park, cutting its upper portions from the seaside below. After years and years of planning and fundraising , a design from James Corner Field Operations, the team behind the High Line, has finally been brought to fruition.
That aside, there was already plenty of new park stuff to see and experience. Just behind the visitor center is a campfire circle that was added so the space felt like a true national park. Facing it, with the rest of the park sloping down into marsh and then Angel Island in the distance, it does feel national park-ish. Plus, there is actually a campground in the Presidio itself.
The upper half of the Tunnel Tops area is sort of structured and play oriented. The area below the playground with the restored wetlands and trails winding their way through the dunes is rugged and loose and contributes again to this sense of wonder that something like this is in a major city.My typical San Francisco visit involves the classic urban activities–restaurants, museums, architecture walks, etc.
