Sections of Park Trail and Bay Area Ridge Trail Closed to Dog Walking

To reduce the potential for coyote/dog conflict, we’ve proactively closed large sections of the Park Trail and the Bay Area Ridge Trail to dog walking. This annual closure is temporary; we’ll reopen these trails to dog walking in fall after pupping season ends. All 24 miles of hiking trails in the Presidio are open to people.

Recreation & Wellness in the Presidio

From hiking to camping, the Presidio is the place to recreate, relax, and restore.

Come play at the Presidio where you can unplug and lean into health and wellness.

If you want to recreate, relax, and restore, the Presidio has loads of opportunities – both indoors and out.

The best hikes in San Francisco – and the best bike rides – can be found on the Presidio’s miles of trails. And now there’s even more space with Presidio Slow Streets.

The Presidio is also an amazing place to play – whether your idea of fun is golf, tennis, swimming, rock climbing, or bowling. And for the kids, one of the best San Francisco playgrounds is at the Outpost at Presidio Tunnel Tops.

When you’re ready to relax, stop for lunch at a picnic area or take in the view from a scenic overlook. For a deeper sense of restoration, drop into a spa, yoga studio, gym, or fitness center to continue your self-care journey.

No matter what you choose, the road – or trail – to health and wellness begins in the Presidio.
