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.
