About Pink Triangle Park

Pink Triangle Park is a small triangular memorial at the corner of Castro, Market and 17th Streets in San Francisco's Castro District. It was formally dedicated on December 10, 2001. Fifteen granite pylons stand for the men arrested during 1933 to 1945, with each pylon representing 1,000 lives lost. A rose quartz pink triangle sits among rose bushes, and visitors may take one stone as a keepsake. The park sits above the Castro Street Muni Metro station, across from Harvey Milk Plaza, and is described as the first LGBTQ+ Holocaust memorial in the United States.
