About Treasure Island
Treasure Island is an artificial landform in the San Francisco Bay, California, constructed in 1936-1937 for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. Originally planned as an airport site, it was used by the U.S. Navy before being transferred back to the City and County of San Francisco. Today, it serves as a mixed-use community with a combination of historic sites, residential developments, and event facilities. Geographically, it offers panoramic vistas of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge, making it a popular spot for photography and recreation. Its open spaces and unique setting provide a scenic backdrop for various events and activities, while ongoing redevelopment projects promise more amenities for visitors and residents alike.
