Historic Milestone for Chicano Park
San Diego’s Chicano Park has been entered into the National Register of Historic Places.
The designation, which officially occurred on Jan. 23, recognizes the park for its “critical association with the Chicano Civil Rights Movement and events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the city of San Diego’s political and social history,” according to the materials filed in support of the park’s entry, which were submitted last year by the California State Historical Resources Commission.
