Mori Point

Mori Point is a 110-acre (0.4 km²) site located in Pacifica, California that is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. In 2000, Mori Point was put up for sale at auction, and the Pacifica Land Trust, the California Coastal Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land launched a campaign to purchase the property for preservation.^[1] The property was purchased at public auction and donated to the Federal Government and added to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.^[2]

In the Fall of 2007, the Mori Point Project, made up of staff from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and volunteers, completed the removal of soil contaminated with diesel fuel, the creation of a new pond and wetlands area and a new path with access steps up to the top of Mori Point bluff. [2]

Mori Point was the site of the famed car-driven-off-cliff scene from the movie Harold and Maude.
