National AIDS Memorial Grove
(The Grove)
The National AIDS Memorial Grove (NAMG) was conceived in 1989 by
a small group of San Francisco residents representing a community devastated by
the AIDS epidemic, but with no positive way to express their collective grief.
As news of the Grove initiative grew, so did support and interest. What they
envisioned was a serene place where people would come in groups to hold memorial
services or individually to remember among the rhododendrons and redwoods, in a
place dedicated to all lives touched by AIDS.
The Grove is located near the eastern end of scenic Golden Gate
Park in San Francisco, California, in the serene de Laveaga Dell, right across
the street from the tennis courts and just north of the bowling greens (on
Bowling Green Drive!). Detailed information about the Grove is available below.
