The free My Park Moment photo show celebrates people loving their favorite parks.

To make the show, a panel of creators and community leaders picked 400 winning shots from 7,000 photos sent in from across the country. Taken by everyday parkgoers, teenagers, and professional photographers, the photos capture the beauty and joy of the great outdoors.

Parks belong to all of us – they’re where we play, celebrate, and spend time with those we love. For more than two decades, the Partnership for the Presidio has engaged the public to ensure that people who have historically been underrepresented in national parks benefit from all the wonderful things parks bring.

A reoccurring theme that comes up in our work is that not everyone feels the Presidio “is for them.” This was the inspiration for the My Park Moment photo show. With this project, we created a way for everyone to, quite literally, picture themselves in the Presidio.

Building on the Community Engagement behind Presidio Tunnel Tops, in April 2021 we issued an open call for submissions, ultimately receiving 7,000 photos. Four hundred are now on display in the My Park Moment Photo Show.
