3: Facilities and Infrastructure

Operate, maintain, and upgrade the Presidio’s facilities and infrastructure in an efficient and sustainable manner to support the Presidio as a national park

Other Information:

With 1,100 acres of diverse landscapes, nearly six million square feet of building space, 469 historic buildings, 1,047 residential units, 40 miles of water distribution pipes, 20 miles of sewer pipes, and 30 miles of roads that interconnect with the surrounding city, the Presidio is akin to a small town and is a complex park to manage. Its infrastructure and facilities management must accommodate the needs of a growing community as well as visitors. Efficient operations and sustainable practices are critical to the Trust’s ability to achieve its mission of becoming financially self-sustaining and of becoming a great national park site. In 2002, the Presidio of San Francisco was designated a “Center of Environmental Innovation,” one of 20 national park sites so honored. As a leader in environmentally sustainable practices, the Trust uses technological innovation, public outreach, and best management practices to reduce waste, conserve energy and resources, and minimize the impacts of operations and public use on the park.
