The much-anticipated Battery Bluff park is now open to the public.
The much-anticipated Battery Bluff park in the Presidio opens to the public today.
The 6-acre site features gardens, picnic tables and a majestic view of the Golden Gate, and marks the second of three sections to be opened around the restored site at what was once Doyle Drive. Seven acres of tidal marsh opened at Quartermaster Reach in December of 2020. The final 14-acre park atop the Presidio Parkway tunnels, Presidio Tunnel Tops, is set to open in July."Yes, I'm wearing heels in a park," joked Mayor London Breed at a clear sunny day at the site yesterday, in front of the old batteries."I'm in awe of this view, and the magic of what I feel today.
"People come from all over the world to experience the best that San Francisco has to offer. They come for the sheer beauty, access to green and open space, and to visit some of the best urban parks in the country," Breed said."Now, everyone will have more to look forward to and greater access to this national park with the historic renovation of Battery Bluff.
Four historic gun battery sites, Slaughter, Baldwin, Sherwood and Blaney, are now on view at the site for the first time since the construction of Doyle Drive began in 1936. Built between 1899 and 1902, the batteries were part of the U.S. Army’s coastal defense system around the Golden Gate to protect San Francisco Bay.
