Presidio Trust Welcomes Sutter Health as Founding Partner

The Presidio is a place to explore, play, connect, and recharge. Now, a new partnership is helping bring the park’s role in health and wellness into even greater focus. 

The Presidio Trust – whose mission is to steward and share the history, beauty, and wonder of the Presidio for everyone to enjoy forever –   is proud to welcome Sutter Health as its first Founding Partner and first Official Healthcare Partner. The partnership brings together two organizations with a shared interest in helping people live healthier, more active lives. 

At the heart of the partnership is a simple idea: time spent outdoors can be good for both mind and body. 

The Presidio offers the setting for people to move and recharge. With 24 miles of trails, open lawns, beaches, scenic overlooks, playgrounds, and other recreation opportunities, the park provides countless ways to make wellness part of everyday life. Visitors are encouraged to unplug and lean into health and wellness, whether that means hiking through the forest, biking along the waterfront, playing at Presidio Tunnel Tops, or simply taking a moment to enjoy nature. 

As the Presidio Trust’s first Founding Partner, Sutter Health is helping create new opportunities for people to experience the connection between nature, movement, and well-being. 

Find Your Flow in the Presidio 

The first public activation of the partnership invites the community to do exactly that. 

Yoga in the Park, presented by Sutter Health, brings free outdoor yoga to Outpost Meadow every Sunday from September 13 through November 22, from 10 to 11 a.m. 

Whether you’re new to yoga or have an established practice, the weekly classes offer an accessible way to start your Sunday with movement and mindfulness while surrounded by the Presidio’s natural landscape. Classes are open to all experience levels, and participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat and prepare for an outdoor practice. 

Building a Healthier Future Together 

The Sutter Health partnership reflects the Presidio’s broader vision for the future: sustaining a national park where people and the environment can thrive for generations to come. 

The Presidio’s Forever Park strategy builds on decades of transformation, from a former military post into a vibrant national park site where people live, work, visit, and connect with nature. That work has always depended on partnerships with community leaders, donors, volunteers, tenants, and organizations that believe in the Presidio’s public mission. 

Corporate partnerships are one part of that model. The Presidio Trust seeks partners who share its values and can help advance goals including access, sustainability, biodiversity, and a welcoming park for all. 

Sutter Health’s role as the Presidio Trust’s first Founding Partner opens a new chapter in that work, creating opportunities to bring the benefits of outdoor recreation and wellness to more people. 

So, roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and start your Sunday in the park. 

Join Yoga in the Park, Presented by Sutter Health, every Sunday from September 13 through November 22, 10–11 a.m. at Outpost Meadow.
