With year-round visitor traffic for sightseeing and recreation, this pilot provides operators with the chance to reach new customers and offer a new type of visitor services at Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The anticipated effective date of each new lease is on or around September 28, 2026. Each lease will provide an assigned parking space in the Rodeo Beach parking lot.
