Fort Funston is located in San Francisco, south of Ocean Beach. The entrance and large parking lot can only be reached by driving south on Skyline Blvd (Highway 35). Go past the traffic light at John Muir Blvd and up the hill. You'll see a small sign on the right, near the top of the hill. If you get to John Daly Blvd in Daly City - you've gone too far! The upper parking lot is open from sunrise to sunset, but if you park in the smaller lot near John Muir Blvd you can always hike in up the hill.
We're still walking off-leash although the Park Service will tell you that the leash law is in effect. See Alerts for more information about this battle. If you want to get weekly email Fort Funston updates, send an email to
fortfunston@hotmail.com to be put on the list.
