Golden Gate National Recreation Area

National Park News

The park has conducted an assessment of the damage caused by last weekend’s storm and reports the following:

  • Stinson Beach – The area was closed last Friday due to numerous trees and limbs down, but reopened on Saturday.
  • Muir Woods – The park was closed all day Friday and Saturday and reopened on Sunday around noon. Numerous trees are down throughout the park. Power was lost on Friday and not restored until Monday afternoon.
  • Marin Headlands – The area was without power from Friday until midday on Saturday. Numerous trees were felled by a combination of high winds and saturated ground. About 200 feet of fencing was lost in the housing area. Conzelman Road was closed on Friday and Saturday morning due to rock debris falling from the hillsides. Numerous buildings suffered roof leaks due to high winds blowing shingles off.
  • Fort Mason – Many trees fell in the area, including one large tree that fell on Van Ness Avenue and took out the power lines for Muni trains. The front glass door of the headquarters building was shattered by high winds and many buildings here also suffered from roof leaks due to lost shingles.
  • Sutro Park – About 15 large cypress trees fell during the storm, one on a car.
The total damage to date has been estimated at about $100,000.
