Reviews of Mary Ellen Pleasant Memorial Park
"Wasn't quite expecting it to be like it is but I absolutely love it. On a short break but will definitely make time for a longer visit."
"The park is actually a parklet. It is the huge trees and the sidewalk areas surrounding them. The massive Eucalyptus trees are amazing. It's time for the city and others to redo the sidewalks. The tree roots have cracked the concrete and have lifted the slabs. This much misunderstood iconic abolitionist deserves better. Don't call her Mammy."
"Her legacy deserves a bigger place than this. Better to go to the mansion she lived in on 198 Laidley st in SF. The memorial park is more like a garden around this place is called 'The Healing Arts' so you wouldn't know MEP park was there. Just sad. I thought SF was into renaming things...give her a garden or street in Golden Gate Park like Pelosi and JFK have."
"Stroll in to San Francisco's smallest park and contemplatively absorb a piece of local history. The life of Mary Ellen Pleasant, the famous Civil Rights worker is remembered and marked by a commemorative plaque and the now iconic six huge Eucalyptus trees planted in 1904, the year of her death. Linger amongst decoratively manicured indigenous plants and perhaps be distracted by an agitated crow which occasionally appears, reputetly signifying her "haunting presence" !"
