Presidio of San Francisco
The
Presidio of San Francisco is a park on the northern tip of the
San Francisco Peninsula in the
City and County of San Francisco. It is operated by the
National Park Service of the
United States. The park is characterized by many wooded areas, hills, and scenic vistas overlooking the
San Francisco Bay.
The Presidio was originally a Spanish fort sited by Juan Bautista de Anza on March 28, 1776 built by a party led by Josef Joachin Moraga later that year. Until its closure in 1994, it was the longest continuously operated military base in the United States.
Lucas Arts is building their new headquarters at the Presidio.
