About AIDS Memorial Grove

The National AIDS Memorial Grove, often called the Grove, sits in the de Laveaga Dell in eastern Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The National AIDS Memorial describes it as a public space for reflection, healing, and remembrance that is open to all visitors. The organization cares for the roughly 10 acres of the Grove, and volunteers help maintain it for the many people who visit throughout the year. The Memorial also stewards the AIDS Memorial Quilt and runs related programs, scholarships, and events.
