Crissy Field

Someone pointed out that my life list entries were antiquated sites thus far. Indeed. Let's fix that.

Designed by Hargreaves and Associates, Crissy Field was an ASLA Design Award winner back in 2002 and has become a Bay-area destination and a symbol of civic resuse of land. Originally the site was an airfield, but now this park has become an all-in-one sort of place. It is a beach and a windsurfing spot and a place for gatherings and a front yard for San Francisco. And, while the ASLA only gave it a Merit award, it was included in MoMA's prestigious Groundswell exhibit.
