May 13, 2026, Battery Townsley

Batterij Townsley is a place where nature and history meet. As you climb along the rugged cliffs of the Marin Headlands, the old coastal defense slowly emerges from the landscape. Once at the top, a panorama opens up that will leave you speechless: the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the endless horizon. The abandoned bunkers and tunnels give the place a mysterious atmosphere, as if time has stood still here. A perfect stop to enjoy, wander, and completely immerse yourself in the view.

In the 1870s and 1880s, Golden Gate Park was planted on sand dunes and required substantial irrigation. In 1902, the Park Commission authorized the construction of two windmills to pump groundwater for park irrigation rather than purchasing water at exorbitant costs from the Spring Valley Water Company. The Murphy Mill was completed in 1908,[4] and pumped 40,000 US gallons (150,000 L) per hour to the park.
