Trust in the Presidio for an all-natural experience
The Presidio was originally an American military post. In 1972, Congress established the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and decreed that if the area ever became unnecessary to the military, it would become a national park. The end of the Cold War brought with it the end of the Presidio’s Army days, and today it stands as a majestic example of mankind and nature in harmony.Today, people live and work in the Presidio every day. There are twenty-one residential neighborhoods, and more than 250 non-residential buildings. Two-thirds of those were built between the Spanish era and World War II. Even for those just passing through, though, the Presidio has plenty to offer. (more…)
