Fourteen acres of new parkland, located atop the roadway tunnels that replaced the former Doyle Drive approach to the Golden Gate Bridge, opened to the public on Sunday, July 18, 2022.
The new Presidio Tunnel Tops, a joint project of the Presidio Trust, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, and the National Park Service, is a multifunctional site that includes playgrounds, trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, lawns, and spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Among the current offerings is a photo show, My Park Moments, which has on display some 400 winning images located in four outdoor Tunnel Tops locations.
One day prior to the park’s opening, on the morning of July 17, members of the San Francisco Bay Times team attended the pre-opening ceremony and met administrators, park rangers, interpreters, and impromptu visitors exploring the new recreational area for the first time. They also met LGBTQ community members in key leadership roles, including the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Superintendent, Christine Lehnertz, and noted architect Michael Boland.
Participants of the pre-opening ceremony included Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Mayor London Breed, preforming artists, and others. View the entire Opening Ceremony: https://tinyurl.com/yc8emjp6
