Old Town San Diego State Historic Park
Park
4 mi
10 minutes by car from the Hotel.
This park is on the ancestral land of the First People, the Kumeyaay, whose story is shared in the outdoor exhibit Iipay ~ Tipai Kumeyaay Mut Niihepok (Land of the First People). San Diego became California’s first Spanish settlement when a mission and fort were established here in 1769. Later, it passed into the hands of the newly made Mexican government before California gained statehood after the Mexican American War. Through museum exhibitions, restored historic buildings, living history demonstrations and special events, Old Town San Diego State Historic Park offers visitors a glimpse at the converging cultures that transformed San Diego from a Kumeyaay village to a Mexican pueblo to an American Settlement.

Chicano Park is a 7.9 acres 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,[6] and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.
Chicano Park, like Berkeley's People's Park, was the result of a militant (but nonviolent) people's land takeover. Every year on April 22 (or the nearest Saturday), the community celebrates the anniversary of the park's takeover with a celebration called Chicano Park Day.
