Planning notes

💡

The Outpost playground is designed for ages 2–12; check its separate opening hours before a playground-focused trip. Use Tunnel Tops as the flexible start of the outing: play first, picnic, then walk toward Crissy Field only as far as your group wants. Bring layers and check the current hours for the staffed experiences rather than assuming everything follows the outdoor park schedule.

Accessible parking and restrooms are available
The mostly flat connection toward Crissy Field works well for a short out-and-back
Walk bikes, scooters, and skateboards inside Tunnel Tops
Dogs are not permitted in the Outpost playground
Paid parking surrounds the park; Muni and the Presidio GO shuttle also serve the area
