A dynamic hub of youth engagement for the Golden Gate National Parks, the Center is a model program of the National Park Service, the Presidio Trust, and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. Crissy Field Center programs encourage new generations to become bold leaders for thriving parks, healthy communities, and a more environmentally just society. 

The Center’s state of the art, green education facility consists of classrooms, labs, and gathering spaces for youth enrolled in the Center’s camps, field trips, and programs. With a focus on engaging people who traditionally have had little—if any—access to national parks, the Center has developed strong partnerships with schools and community centers in underserved areas, providing a majority of its programming for free or at low cost.

The Crissy Field Center sits at the base of the Presidio Tunnel Tops, a 14-acre national park experience situated atop the Presidio Parkway tunnels. This new park site connecting Crissy Field to the Main Post of the Presidio with spectacular views, welcoming spaces for friends and family, and lots of things to do. Built by the community,  for the community, we're grateful to the donors and Parks Conservancy members who helped bring this vision to life. Learn more about Presidio Tunnel Tops.
