3rd Annual Presidio Pumpkin Carving Festival #presidio #presidiopark #presidiotrust #funfamilyday #pumpkincarving #presidiopumpkincarvingfestival #3rdannual #thirdannualpresidiopumpkincarvingfestival @presidiosf #love #thankyou (at Presidio of San Francisco)
JUST IN: The Presidio Trust Board of Directors has unanimously voted to not select any of the three finalists for the mid-Crissy Field site. The Trust Board has expressed interest in working with us to “bring key elements of the Presidio Exchange to the park.” Read the full press release here: http://1.usa.gov/1aXHIID We, at the Conservancy, are appreciative of the Trust’s RFP process and the thoughtful consideration given to the PX proposal. We applaud the Trust for an open and transparent process. We are also indebted to our many supporters who donated their time and energy to rally behind us. You’ve left us speechless on many occasions with your compassion and enthusiasm. THANK YOU!
A big thank you to everyone that showed their support for the PX on Monday night. We had a great turn out of PX supporters - as you can see below wearing little red pins!
Check out John King's write up of the event in the SF Chronicle.
Over the weekend, still more voices weighed in to the public comment around the Presidio mid-Crissy Field proposals. Lauren Dachs, President of the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation and Randi Fisher, Co-Founder of the Pisces Foundation urged the Presidio Trust Board of Directors to take the time they need to decide which of the three proposals is best for the long-term benefit of Crissy Field, the Presidio and the Bay Area.
Which do you think best fits the location?
Join us tonight at the Herbst Pavilion from 6:30 to 9 p.m. for your final chance to comment in-person on the mid-Crissy Field proposals. RSVP here

Nearly 53 species of mammals, 250 species of birds, 20 species of reptiles, and 11 species of amphibians call the Golden Gate National Parks home during some part of the year. In partnership with National Geographic, the National Park Service & the Presidio Trust, the Conservancy is hosting BioBlitz 2014 on March 28 & 29. BioBlitz is a 24-hour event in which volunteer scientists, families, students and teachers come together to find and identify as many species of plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible. Join the fun & learn more.
How will the three Crissy Field proposals impact the priceless views of Crissy Field? Take a look at these simulations of the finalists' buildings from five different viewpoints.
"Of and for the Presidio...The Parks Conservancy built and currently maintains visitor attractions all over San Francisco's national parkland, from the Warming Hut at Fort Point to Alcatraz. It has raised more than $300 million to support these projects since 1981, all in the name of curating its slice of important Bay Area history."
A comprehensive overview of the three proposals for the mid-Crissy Field site in the SF Bay Guardian.
The Presidio is part of one of America’s most beloved and innovative national parks - a park known for its glorious assets and communities of involved supporters. The Presidio Exchange, or PX, is the only proposal of the three for the former commissary site that would build on these successes.
Thanks to Amy Meyer, or “Mother of the GGNRA” as she is sometimes referred to, for her support of the PX in the SF Chronicle.
