Once a rich tidal marsh and home to Ohlone people, Crissy Field was a pioneering U.S. military airfield in the 1920s. In the years after WWII, the Sixth Army Flight Detachment operated light airplanes and helicopters from the paved runway that replaced the grass landing field. By this time, Crissy Field traffic consisted primarily of liaison flights, and MedEvac flights bringing soldiers wounded in Vietnam from Travis Air Force Base to Letterman Hospital. In 1974, it was finally closed to fixed-wing aircraft, although helicopter operations continued until very recently.
Now, with generous community support, Crissy Field has undergone another transformation, becoming a stunning national parkland at the Golden Gate. The park's tidal marsh has been restored and continues to serve as a center of marine science set amongst historical sites.
