Proceed through the marsh and across Mason Street to Crissy Field Center.

The Center is an amazing resource -- not just for its educational programs and workshops. It also serves as an example of a sustainably run building. From bathroom tiles to elevator floors, building materials are made from recycled products. Cafe utensils are biodegradable, paper towels are composted.

Crissy Field Center houses a cafe and park gift shop, as well as classrooms, a media lab and library, and a teaching kitchen. Printed Presidio maps are available in the center, and other park-related items can be purchased in the gift shop.

The Crissy Cafe Menu offers beverages and refreshments, and seating inside or by windows overlooking the Crissy Field area and San Francisco Bay.
