Chicano Park, Community park and historic site in Logan Heights, San Diego, US.

The 7.9-acre park stretches beneath the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, featuring over eighty outdoor murals painted on concrete bridge supports.

Local residents and activists halted construction of a highway patrol station on April 22, 1970, leading to negotiations that established the park.

The murals depict Mexican-American heritage through themes of immigration, civil rights, and important historical figures of the Chicano movement.

Visitors can explore the park during daylight hours and access the Chicano Park Museum, which opened in 2022 to document local history.

Artists transformed the bridge support pylons into the largest collection of outdoor murals in the United States, creating an open-air art gallery.
