FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
Following an international design competition in 2014, Field Operations was selected to develop a 13-acre “tunnel top” parkland bridging the Presidio with Crissy Field, the Marsh and the larger bay. The proposed “Presidio Point” would maximize the panoramic and connective assets of the surroundings, choreographing the best vantage points with dramatic new pathways, overlooks, lawns, gardens and social spaces. Presidio Point would be San Francisco’s new destination and shared living room; a place to meet and learn, to experience, to enjoy and to forge new forms of community and events.
