Quick Facts

Scenic View/Photo Spot

The overlook offers an amazing perspective on the revitalization that has come to Crissy Field in this last decade. It's also an opportunity to imagine times when Crissy Field was an active airfield, or when European powers first sailed to the region when it was inhabited by the Ohlone.

From here, you can take in the San Francisco skyline, Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz, Angel Island and the former Coast Guard station. Photos from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 compared to images of modern Crissy Field reveal the dramatic change in the landscape a century later.

Be aware, there are several parking spaces along Lincoln Blvd, but parking is limited.
