Chicano Park
4.4 (1,176)park
4.4 (1,176)Beneath the Coronado Bridge, this Barrio Logan park is covered in monumental murals of Chicano culture and resistance.
Description
The 7.4-acre site originated from the Chicano Park Takeover on April 22, 1970, when community members launched a protest and occupation to secure a promised park rather than a California Highway Patrol station. Today, the civil rights landmark holds the country's largest concentration of Chicano murals alongside painted kiosks, sculptures, and gardens that host regular community gatherings.
