Just a ways from John F. Kennedy Drive and past the Redwood Memorial Grove, you will find the delightful Doughboy Meadow. Perched atop a boulder, the laurel-wreathed statue is a favorite amongst children who enjoy romping about the grassy space. The Doughboy has been watching over the activities of the meadow since it was installed in the park in 1930.
This redwood grove is dedicated to the memory of the members of the San Francisco Parlors, Native Sons of the Golden West, who gave their lives in the World's Wars I and II.
World War I 1917-1918
World War II 1941-1945
Created in bronze and natural stone by M. Earl Cummings, Doughboy memorializes members of the San Francisco Parlors of the Native Sons of the Golden West that were killed in World War I. Additional names were added after World War II to honor members who died in that war.
These massive redwoods conceal their secrets. GPS may bounce. Bring a pen.
