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.

Partnership for the Presidio

Learn about the organizations who support and sustain the Presidio.

Three organizations work together to support and sustain the Presidio.

In 1996, the Presidio Trust, a federal agency, was created by Congress to work in partnership with the National Park Service to manage the Presidio. The Presidio is also supported through the incredible work of the non-profit Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. Together, the three organizations are known as the Partnership for the Presidio.

It’s guided by a triple bottom line of people, planet, and performance: ensuring the Presidio is visited and loved by all, is a model of environmental stewardship, and operates effectively in service to the public.
