Pink Triangle Memorial

Discovered this memorial thanks to our guide Kathy, owner of Cruisin' The Castro Walking Tours. I’ve lived in SF for nearly 20 years and had no idea this was here. It’s a lovely and emotionally moving spot. And if the rose quartz seems depleted, that’s good news … visitors are encouraged to take a piece with them as a memory keepsake. Simply lovely.

The Pink Triangle Memorial Park is a small memorial park in the Castro. It has succulents, roses, and other flowers. It is wholly maintained by donations and volunteer labor. I didn’t realize how tiny the park was, and wedged between roads. I wouldn’t call it peaceful for that reason, but it’s important to have such memorials. After seeing the park, which takes only a few minutes, you can continue to explore and walk through the gay district.

Pink Triangle Memorial park is dedicated to the LGBT victims persecuted in Fascist Europe between 1933-1945. It is a peaceful, colorful park full of flowers, a series of granite posts topped with pink triangles and a pink triangle on the ground full of rose quartz stones--you are welcome take one as a remembrance. Well worth a 10 minute visit.

Small memorial, but a nice little space

Fantastic little Memorial in downtown San Francisco that memorializes the Gay Men that were brutalized and killed during the Holocaust. It's a powerful reminder. Go visit it if you can!

Located near Harvey Milk Plaza, the memorial is accessible via cross walk. Peaceful space full of plants and pollinators. Worth a 10 minute stop to remember.

Such a beautiful memorial, a very special place and such an amazing idea! The rose quartz triangle is incredible to see, and from what I've heard, they encourage you to take a stone with you so we are all connected and united! Powerful!! My hubby and I donate to the org that funds this place and I hope you can do the same!
