Kids on Trails

Distributed at the Visitor Center, Kids on Trails is a self-guided tour book that orients children to the Presidio’s Ecology Trail. The guide inspires learning and appreciation for the park as well as its natural resources. Kids on Trails features twenty pages of activities led by “Anna the Hummingbird,” tips for parents and educators, and a kid-friendly map.

Parks as Classrooms

The Golden Gate National Recreation Area serves as one of the nation's largest and most inspiring outdoor classrooms. From fragile native habitats to historic landmarks, ancient redwood groves to dramatic coastal preserve, the park's value as an urban educational resource is unsurpassed. Strongly committed to young people, park staff work with educators to develop interdisciplinary issue-oriented curriculum designed to help students achieve National Education Standards.
