As the name suggests this park was a major military installation for decades.

These days you'll find open meadows, hiking trails, a community garden, and the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture which hosts many events, exhibitions and performances throughout the year.

Fort Mason, once known as San Francisco Port of Embarkation, US Army, in San Francisco, California, is a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay. Fort Mason served as an Army post for more than 100 years, initially as a coastal defense site and subsequently as a military port facility. During World War II, it was the principal port for the Pacific campaign.

Today it is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area with a large park and the site of several cultural facilities. It is a National Historic Landmark District with over 49 buildings of historic significance, spread over 1,200 acres (490 ha).
It also houses the Fisherman's Wharf hostel, affordable beds in a serene setting with spectacular views.
Every Friday evening from April to October at 6 pm an Off-The-Grid food truck and live music event fills the lower Fort Mason parking area, also the site for the Sunday morning farmers' market.
