  Join Carolyn Walkling on an adventure to the recent new park in the Presidio. 4.5 miles, mostly flat. Return late afternoon. 

  It offers unforgettable Golden Gate Bridge views, the  Outpost, an amazing playground and the Field Station Curiosity Lab, trails and public lawns, food trucks celebrating diverse cultures, and some of the best places to picnic in the Presidio.

  It’s built on and around the Presidio Parkway tunnels (hence Tunnel Tops!) making it easy and fun to walk from the center of the Presidio to the park’s beautiful waterfront at Crissy Field.

  Bring your clipper card and a lunch. Arrive at Gateway by 8:45 for 9:00 departure.

  We will take BART from Lafayette to the Embarcadero,  and then the free Presidio bus to the park.

  We will explore the park and the Presidio Visitor Center.

  Limited to 25 people. There will be a wait list if limit is reached.
