Crissy Field airfield lawn

The former airfield lawn is the broad open grass between the promenade and Mason Street, used for informal recreation, picnics, events, and bridge views.

Paid parking serves East Beach and West Bluff, including accessible spaces. Lots fill on warm weekends and major event days; choose the end closest to your activity.

Outdoor shoreline and promenade access follows posted GGNRA hours. Parking, restrooms, the Warming Hut, programs, and staffed facilities use separate schedules.

Accessible restrooms are at East Beach, West Bluff near the Warming Hut, and Golden Gate Bridge Plaza. Drinking water is also available at these developed areas.

Beach, promenade, lawns, marsh overlooks, picnic areas, and general access are free. Parking, food, rentals, and programs may charge.

The 2.3-mile promenade is generally level with accessible parking and restrooms at both ends. East Beach offers a seasonal beach mat and beach wheelchairs by request.

Dog access varies by shoreline and habitat zone. Follow posted leash controls, protect marsh wildlife, and use the designated dog-washing station at East Beach.

East Beach combines sand, picnic tables, grills, restrooms, water, and a generally level promenade, making it the easiest family base.

The former airfield lawn is the broad open grass between the promenade and Mason Street, used for informal recreation, picnics, events, and bridge views. Bay water is cold and conditions change quickly. Check wind, fog, tides, air quality, event closures, and parking; watch children closely near the shoreline and bicycle traffic.

Muni, Presidio GO, cycling, and walking connect Crissy Field with the Main Post and city. Stops may still require a waterfront walk.
