Comments: Horrible bathroom. Truly awful. Covered with poo, toilet paper wads everywhere. The workers were nasty to me too when I asked to use it because it has to be unlocked to keep the homeless from using it (much better to have to skip over their piles of offal on the street right?) and even then I considered letting my kid just whizz in the street rather than use their john. Another reviewer gave it 5 stars. A 3rd user gave it 2 stars.

Comments: Crissy Field is located on the shoreline of the Presidio of San Francisco. If you follow Mason St to the parking lot at the very end of the road (closest access to the Golden Gate Bridge), there are public restrooms about fifty feet past the car barrier. I was there on a Saturday night at midnight and they were open. According to the map there are also restrooms off of Mason St at both the entrance to Crissy Field (on the right) and across from the Enlisted Men's Barracks at the Crissy Airfield, but I did not visit them.

It's open past usual business hours, as there are often events at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and many people will go outside to use these restrooms. It's not open all night, for safety reasons.
