With a magnificent view of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Outpost playground is a highlight for folks with kids. This playground magically bridges Crissy Field and the interior of the Presidio.
Rather than the molded plastic and coated metal we have come to expect from playgrounds, Tunnel Tops offers exploration activities inspired by the area’s natural habitats.
The large climbing structures and a unique swing are made of stones and logs. Water features invite children to engage their senses, observe cause and effect, and cool off when it’s hot! One section lets families build their own creations with natural materials such as stones, shells, and sticks.
Tunnel Tops has more than just the playground. Stairs and a path above the playground enable access to a giant meadow with picturesque views and beautiful landscaping.

What to Expect When Visiting Tunnel Tops in the Presidio
- You can look for street parking along Mason Street as you approach and continue searching all the way to Crissy Field, a reasonable walk. We parked in the Sports Basement Parking Lot, which is adjacent.
- On a sunny day, you’ll want a hat and sunscreen, as well as clothing and shoes that can get wet.
- There is no cost for admission to the playground or for the adjacent indoor exploration center which offers hands-on activities supporting families to learn about the history of the nearby land and its features.
