Getting to the Golden Gate Club

This year we are once again delighted to hold the conference at the beautiful Golden Gate Club in the Presidio. The 1,500 acre Presidio is located in the northwest corner of San Francisco at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are many ways to get to and around the park, including the free PresidiGo Shuttle. Access a Presidio map or get directions here.

Parking Information

There are two large public parking lots off of Fisher Loop and several other options nearby for overflow parking. All day parking is $8.50. Parking areas require prepayment via the “pay and display” stations which dispense permits that are then placed on the dashboard. The fee is $1.80 an hour, with a daily cap of $8.50, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm. Weekends are free. Please note that only credit card or coin payment is accepted. ​

Several SF MUNI routes provide service to or near the Presidio (1, 28, 28R, 29, 41, 43, and 45). The MUNI 43 now offers service directly into the park, with both directions of the route stopping at the Presidio Transit Center on the Main Post. Once in the park, transfer to the free PresidiGo Around the Park Shuttle to reach your final destination. The Around the Park Shuttle is free and available all seven days a week.
