Crissy Field Center

From its setting in a national park, Crissy Field Center offers a wide variety of programs and amenities that connect the diverse population of the Bay Area to urban environmental issues. Our mission is to encourage new generations to become bold leaders for healthy communities, thriving parks, a more environmentally just society.

Working in partnership with the National Park Service and Bay Area communities, the Center actively engages people with their environments by focusing on the convergence of the urban and natural environment through multicultural perspectives. Since its opening in May 2001, the Center has served over 400,000 people through school field trips, public workshops, after school programs, summer camps, and more.

Housed in a historic and sustainably renovated building, the Crissy Field Center’s facilities include a media lab, resource library, arts workshop, science lab, gathering room and teaching kitchen in addition to a café and bookstore. The Center is also a green business certified building and all proceeds from the cafe and bookstore support the Center's education programs.

Overlooking a restored tidal marsh, the Center is a wonderful place to sit, relax, and enjoy stunning views of the Golden Gate or to take part in a dynamic and fun educational experience. We hope to see you soon!
