The Partnership has worked together to create the Tunnel Tops since 2014 with each agency supporting key areas of the project. The Presidio Trust leads planning, design, and construction. The National Park Service leads interpretation, visitor services, and programming. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy leads the philanthropic effort with generous donors, raising $98 million through a Capital Campaign. They’re also strategic partners in developing and delivering educational programs. All three organizations work together to engage diverse communities to design the Presidio Tunnel Tops and create experiences to welcome and support the public.
Design Partner
Following an international competition, the Partnership selected James Corner Field Operations to lead design of the Presidio Tunnel Tops. Field Operations is known for New York City’s much-acclaimed High Line, Staten Island’s Fresh Kills Park, Philadelphia’s Race Street Pier, London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Chicago’s Navy Pier, Seattle’s Central Waterfront, and Hong Kong’s Tsim ShaTsui Waterfront.
