How to Enjoy the Presidio This Week

​​The Presidio is open for essential exercise, and while some businesses are closed, many are still operating and ready to serve you. See our suggestions on how to get out and explore the park.

Get Biking

One of the best ways to see the park and practice physical distancing is by getting on two wheels on the Presidio’s bike-friendly trails and roadways. See our Presidio Slow Streets page to see a map of closed and slowed roads, and be sure to Presidio Like a Pro. Need to rent a bike? Check out Presidio Sports Basement’s bike rental options. And if you need a bike fix, Roaring Mouse is the place to go.

Take to the Trails…and the Streets

The Presidio is home to 24 miles of hiking and biking trails, so we’ve got plenty of space to explore. And if you’d really like to spread out, see our Presidio Slow Streets map for roads that have been slowed and closed in the park to provide more room to roam.

Explore Presidio Scenic Overlooks

The Presidio has eight amazing vistas – make it a project to visit them all! They offer a bit of inspiration (see Inspiration Point!) and they’re a good place to stop for a rest or a moment of contemplation.

Find a Hidden Picnic Spot

Looking to enjoy an al fresco meal? We recommend seeking out one of the park’s lesser-visited corners for a picnic, like this spot pictured located above Baker Beach. There are grassy places to lay your blanket near many of our trails and overlooks. You can also enjoy spots outside the Presidio Social Club, at the Letterman Digital Arts Center, and at the Tides Converge building.
