Review & FAQ:

Chicano Park is one of San Diego's most historically notable public parks, located within its Barrio Logan neighborhood. The park, which was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2016 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, spans 7.9 acres underneath the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and is home to one of the largest collections of outdoor murals in the nation.

Its existence is the result of a significant citizen activism campaign by the neighborhood's Mexican American community, who protested the city's postponed plans for creating a public park in the neighborhood with a 12-day sit-in protest. Each year in April, the park hosts an anniversary celebration in honor of the successful park creation movement. Traditional Mexican music performances are also showcased at the park, along with lowrider car exhibits and ballet folklorico performances.
