The National AIDS Memorial (NAM) was conceived in 1989 by a small group of San Franciscans who had lost loved ones to AIDS. Development of the Grove began in 1991. Located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the Grove is a 7-acre wooded dell historically known as de Laveaga Dell. Stone and wood gathering areas of the Grove include: Main Portal, South Portal, Dogwood Crescent, Fern Grotto, Meadow Overlook, Pine Crescent, and Redwood Circle. The Grove is visited by people who have come from near and far to enjoy its natural beauty, to hold private services, and to volunteer at monthly maintenance Workdays. The NAM is governed by a dedicated board of directors who have signed a 99-year renewable agreement with the City of San Francisco through the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to maintain the Grove in perpetuity. The NAM is a project of the Tides Center, a non-profit corporation dedicated to social service and stewardship of the natural environment.
