Pink Triangle Park
Pink Triangle Park
Located in the Castro District, this small triangular park serves as the first permanent memorial in the United States dedicated to gay men persecuted under the Nazi regime. Visitors come here to view the memorial's design and reflect on the history of LGBTQ+ persecution and resilience.
Getting There
The park is situated in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco. From the city center (Union Square area), you can reach the site via public transit, such as the Muni Metro or bus lines. The trip typically takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic and the specific transit route used.
Visit Duration
Because of its small size and the nature of the memorial, most visitors spend between 15 and 30 minutes at the site.
When to Visit
The park is an outdoor public space accessible throughout the year. It can become crowded during city-wide events or Pride month in June. Visiting during weekday mornings generally offers a quieter experience for reflection.
