![]() Photo by NPS/Will Elder Big changes are coming to a couple of Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s most popular sites! Through funding provided by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), millions of dollars will go toward the restoration of the Alcatraz Island wharf and hospital wing and the rehabilitation of Building 643 at Crissy Field. ![]() NPS photo A rehabilitation project to correct seismic structural deficiencies in the prison building is also underway. The project will focus on the building’s hospital wing and includes strengthening steel and concrete and abating hazardous materials. Once completed, it will allow continued access to visitors of the Alcatraz cellhouse. ![]() NPS photo We are greatly appreciative of the support we have received from our community members and partners, including our close friends at the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, for these and other ongoing park projects. When the work is complete, we look forward to better serving our millions of visitors. |
