How one S.F. woman helped create the Bay Area’s grandest national park

Share

Amy Meyer was a key figure in the creation of a huge national park centered around San Francisco’s Golden Gate — a park that includes everything from Alcatraz Island, a redwood forest, a dozen beaches spread along a dramatic coastline, 140 miles of trails, 758 historic buildings covering more than 128 square miles, an area more than 2½ times the size of San Francisco. Last year it attracted 14.9 million visitors.
