Chicano Park
Chicano Park (Spanish: El Parque Chicano) is a 7.9 acres (32,000 m2) park in Barrio Logan, a predominantly Chicano/Mexican American community in central San Diego, California. Located beneath the San Diego–Coronado Bridge, the park is home to the largest collection of outdoor murals in the United States, as well as various sculptures, earthworks, and an architectural piece dedicated to the cultural heritage of the community.
The park was designated an official historic site by the San Diego Historical Site Board in 1980, and its murals were officially recognized as public art by the San Diego Public Advisory Board in 1987. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 owing to its association with the Chicano Movement, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.
