Crissy Field




        Crissy Field, a former U.S. Army airfield, is now part of the Golden


        Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California, United

        States. Historically part of the Presidio of San Francisco, Crissy Field


        closed as an airfield after 1974. Under Army control, the site was af-


        fected by dumping of hazardous materials. The National Park Ser-

        vice took control of the area in 1994 and cleaned it up, and in 2001


        the Crissy Field Center opened to the public. While most buildings

        have been preserved as they were in the 1920s, some have been


        transformed into offices, retail space, and residences.





        Get on the heights overlooking Crissy Field and you get a birds eye


        view of San Francisco.
