Only some of the Muni city buses have this feature, whereby the bus can be hydraulically loww ww ered, allowing wheelchairr rr bound people to board, and then be secured in a special montague harbor part of the bus. The Muni Access Guide will give you pointers on how to make the most of the system, and it is free from Muni Accessible Services.
The Presidio This beautiful wooded corner of the city has stunning views over the Golden Gate, but from 1776 until 1994 it was owned and occupied by first the Spanish, then the Mexican, and finally, the US armies, and almost entirely off limits to anyone else. It has now been dubbed a major part of the Golden Gate National Recreational Area, and plans are still coalescing as to its ultimate future. At the very least, it is a spectacular park, full of nature trails, streams, forests, drives, and historic structures. Some of the buildings are being turned into cultural centers, but many of them are still residences. Parts of it may eventually be developed for commercial use (see p48). d Map D2
^Tennis Free public tennis courts abound in the city. Contact the Recreation and Park Department for the one nearest you. Golden Gate Park has 21 courts, for which a small fee is charged, but you can book in advance. Most public outdoor courts are open from sunrise to sunset. Indoor courts are the purview of private tennis clubs, with membership required. d San Francisco Recreation and Park Department: montague harbor (415) 831-2700 Golden Gate Park: (415) 753-7001
