This will be the first in a series of public workshops held throughout 2015.  Then, on Friday, January 30, the New Presidio Parklands Project Design Lab opens at 103 Montgomery Street on the Main Post. The Design Lab is your space to draw, debate, engage, and most importantly, share what you want to see at the site. Check out the designs as they continue to evolve, bring your ideas for what would make a great experience, leave a sketch, or offer feedback in the photo booth. Open every day 10 am to 5 pm.
