Mary Ellen Pleasant Memorial Park

Marked by a commemorative plaque and a row of mature Eucalyptus trees planted in 1904, this intimate memorial space honors the civil rights worker and abolitionist Mary Ellen Pleasant. Operating as San Francisco's smallest park, the site consists of sidewalk areas and massive trees that offer a quiet corner for local history. While some feel the scale is modest relative to Pleasant's legacy, visitors appreciate its significance and the beauty of the Eucalyptus trees.
