Pink Triangle Park
Heritage · San Francisco, CA
About
What sets Pink Triangle Park apart from other LGBTQ landmarks in San Francisco is that it's the first permanent, free-standing memorial in the United States dedicated to the homosexuals persecuted and murdered during the Nazi era. Located in The Castro, this small park uses pink granite triangles to honor those victims. It's a quiet space for reflection and education, not a loud celebration. Tissues are recommended; it's a significant but emotional stop.
The park is near the Castro Rainbow Crosswalk and Harvey Milk Plaza, making it easy to include on a walking tour of LGBTQ history. Reviewers consistently note its solemn beauty. No admission fee is required, and it's open 24 hours. Visit when you need a moment of quiet amid the neighborhood's energy.
