Figure 4-1Stone Marking the Entrance
A small group of San Franciscans who had lost their loved ones to AIDS conceived the National Aids Memorial in 1989. Grove 's development started in 1991. The Grove, a 7-acre wooded dell, is governed by a dedicated board of directors who, through San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, have signed a 99-year renewable agreement with the City of San Francisco to maintain the Grove. It is financed privately by private and foundation’s donations.
Grove 's primary gateway is the main gateway. Set up here on the 1st December 1995 World AIDS Day to mark the 7-ton boulder made of Sierra granite.
