Who maintains the park?
The condo association for the new residential development that replaced St. Vincent’s Hospital has an agreement with the Parks Department and is responsible for funding the park’s maintenance in perpetuity. The New York City AIDS Memorial has a separate agreement with the condo association to fund the additional annual maintenance required for the memorial as well as to cover a portion of the maintenance of the adjacent park. The Memorial organization fundraises annually to maintain the site. You can make a tax-deductible contribution to Memorial here.
