"Beautiful atmosphere under the Coronado bridge, with amazing murals that are a symbol of cultural solidarity, and political strength in the community. If you're lucky enough to be there in April for Chicano Park Day, you'll be treated to a colorful array of sights, smells, sounds, and low-rider cars." - Product Etc.

"Located beneath the San Diego–Coronado Bridge, this public space might not be green and tranquil, but it tells a story of perseverance. In 1970, residents of the predominantly Latino Barrio Logan neighborhood staged a nonviolent takeover when the state attempted to build a California Highway Patrol station on land the city had promised would be a community park. Their protests were ultimately successful; the area was designated a park shortly thereafter. In 1973, brightly hued murals touching on Chicano identity and struggles began appearing on the concrete pillars surrounding the space. Today, visitors can see more than 50, which are considered so culturally significant that they earned the park National Historic Landmark status in 2016."

"Chicano Park, which sits beneath the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, is the true heart of Barrio Logan. More than 80 murals painted by Chicano artists illustrate where this community came from: You'll see depictions of Aztec warriors and artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera alongside scenes from the Mexican Revolution."

I've learned about this place during some classes at the university and Chicano Park was one of the main reasons I visited San Diego. What a beautiful, remarkable place! Murals tell so much about the Chicano culture and are a testament to its heritage. Definitely a must-visit!

hicano Park is a park located beneath the San Diego–Coronado Bridge in Barrio Logan, a predominantly Chicano or Mexican American and Mexican-migrant community in central San Diego, California. The park is home to the country's largest collection of outdoor murals, as well as various sculptures, earthworks, and an architectural piece dedicated to the cultural heritage of the community. The park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016. Chicano Park was the result of a militant (but nonviolent) people's land takeover. Every year on April 22 the community celebrates the anniversary of the park's takeover with a celebration called Chicano Park Day. The park opens daily from 6 am to 10pm

"Chicano Park is a historic park located in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego, California. It is known for its large collection of murals painted on the freeway pillars underneath the Coronado Bridge. The park has a rich cultural history and is considered a symbol of Chicano activism and community pride. Visitors to Chicano Park can enjoy the vibrant murals, picnic areas, playgrounds, and various community events held throughout the year. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists interested in Chicano culture and art." At my visit, you do see few people walking around with beer, so I would suggest sticking around during the day times.

Very interesting part of the history of San Diego and the Chicano movement. This is an open air museum that tells a story of migration, cultural traditions, the people struggle for their rights and the search for a better life. The colourful murals drawn on the pillars of the bridge are the perfect medium to communicate a story that spans two countries. More bridges of hope need to be painted and less walls of ignominy need to be built.

Really cool park covered in art! We thought we would stop by and look at it in 15 minutes, but because we walked and looked at every single drawing, it actually ended up taking us a couple hours to just state at all the beautiful artwork!!

One of the most fascinating and beautiful parks I have ever been to--which is quite a statement considering it is underneath large bridges! All the murals and art are fantastic and we learned so much about the history of Chicanos and the area through the paintings and the descriptions. We were only in town for a few days but actually returned to the park again as we loved it and Barrio Logan so much.

pretty amazing park with tons of artwork all over the structures and art installments. The whole area is full of interesting art that would take anyone several hours to view them all. I highly recommend anyone to stop by and experience all the art installations and to learn from the Chicano history.
