Welcome to the Tunnel Tops Park! 🏞🌳
Come to relax and take in the views, and stay for the beautiful designs and social experience!
Conceived and executed by America's top landscape architects, the Park is part of the progressive planning movement to prevent freeways from encircling the City and cutting people off from the waterfront. 🌉 Located in San Francisco’s historic Presidio, it has a playful design that invites and encourages all visitors to explore with its colorful winding pathways and the concealed activity spaces between the topography and vegetation.

There is heavy use of organic shapes and natural forms throughout the space, which is a nice opposition to the formal lawns just across the street in the main lawn. All elements of the design use a neutral palette combined with wood or a rough textured material such as the wooden benches or gravel-like pathways continuing the theme of nature and natural resources. Even with all of the different spaces, the park is very open with unobstructed views to the bay and the city because of the clever use of berms and low walls. Additionally, just beyond the hill the park connects to the Bay Trail encouraging visitors to experience the bay front, Crissy Marsh, and other San Francisco scenes. Overall, this park is a great place for all people to come, relax, and take in the views.
