💚 entire site open for exploration 💚 one of a long string of adjacent batteries, easy to combine with others in a single visit 💚 excellent site for photography, bay and ocean views 💚 solid choice for fans of infrastructure or abandoned properties; great vibes—possibly my favorite in the area

Good sights .. if one is physically fit we can go up and diwan walk on the walks . Best part is we get eye level views of golden gate bridge from this point

Really cool place to visit and learn about the history. I would recommend visiting this place if you're a history nerd plus great views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
