We listen and learn from communities to make the Presidio a welcoming place for all.
The Presidio is part of a movement to bring the national park experience closer to where most people live – in cities. The Presidio is right in the middle of the Bay Area, a bus ride away from millions of people.
And yet, there’s work to do to make sure everyone can enjoy this public space.
The Presidio Trust, with the Partnership for the Presidio, supports the ongoing development of this park as an inclusive, equitable, and relevant community resource. We work to remove tangible and intangible barriers to welcome those that have been historically underrepresented in national parks — including people of color, people with disabilities, and those with lower income.
We work closely with partners to host or collaborate on events that connect the park with their communities through art, culture, health, music, education, and more.
Our Community Shuttle, Community Reservable Spaces, and other Community Access programs aim to make it easier for local communities to visit and explore the Presidio.
Our Presidio Activators and Community Experts are leaders, activists, organizers, and artists who are working with us to make the Presidio a welcoming and inclusive space that meets community needs.
Art can bridge communities and perspectives. Through partnerships with community artists, we’re leveraging the transformative power of art and culture to create a more inclusive environment for all communities, recognizing and honoring the histories often left out.
The Presidio is a place where you can breathe freely and be yourself with no judgment. It is a place for families and people to come together for unity and peace of mind.”
