Twenty years ago, the revitalization of Crissy Field reshaped San Francisco’s northern waterfront. A former concrete US Army airfield, Crissy Field now serves as a treasured national park site, right in the heart of San Francisco. Crissy Field has become place for nesting birds and a sanctuary for calm.
The revitalization of Crissy Field was made possible thanks to the vision and generosity of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, Colleen and Robert Haas, as well as thousands of community volunteers and donors.
Once an army airfield, Crissy Field was transformed in 2001 into a one of the most popular outdoor spaces in San Francisco
