More than 75,000
people attended the May 2001 opening day party celebrating Crissy Field.
The former Crissy Army Airfield has been transformed into a beautiful public
park and wildlife area. More than 125 migrating and local bird species
have been documented by park staff and volunteers in the months leading
up to the completion of the restored tidal marsh here. Visitors can also
enjoy splendid views, jogging areas, and visitor facilities. The new park
is a complete transformation from the uninviting hodgepodge of debris,
sheds, and fences that cluttered this area in the northern part of the
Presidio just two years earlier. The historic site was home to the U.S. Army
Air Corps Coast Defense Air Station from 1921 to 1936. An old sea plane
ramp is visible at low tide across the promenade at the east end of the
picnic area.
