- Incredible walks, hikes and views!!! Closest entrances are on El Camino and 25th Avenue or Lake and 15th Avenue. However - I usually drive and park. In addition to the walks there are also loads of activities in and around here - such as: The Disneyland Museum, Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center and Gift Shop, beaches, Presidio golf course, a hidden bowling Alley (last two usually need a reservation) and of course - more restaurants. Again, the list goes on and on.
