There aren't many parks built on top of freeway tunnels, but then again, there aren't too many parks like the Presidio, a sprawling oasis just a stone's throw from downtown San Francisco.
In 2022, the Presidio added one more reason to visit: Presidio Tunnel Tops, a 14-acre park-within-a-park located directly above Highway 101. The Tunnel Tops is brimming with accessible walking trails, gardens, a playground, live events and some of the best views in San Francisco. And that's just the beginning. As previously reported by SFGATE in July, the park is undergoing a big expansion just west of the Outpost playground that will include 1.5 acres of new picnic areas, lawn space and vegetation.
If you're planning a visit to Presidio Tunnel Tops, here are the best things to see and do at this spectacular park-within-a-park.
