Renaming of Downtown's Plaza Park

Background

Recent public reporting has brought to light serious and concerning details about César Chávez. In response, the City of San José has decided to rename Plaza de César Chávez.  

Themes we heard from the Community Listening Sessions to consider when suggesting a new park name:

• Community, connection, and belonging
• History, legacy, and future generations
• Representation, inclusion, and cultural diversity
• Shared pride and a welcoming identity for all San José residents

Additional information:

• Plaza de Cesar Chavez facility page
• City's community engagement process for the renaming (Information memo)
• PRNS naming process for parks, trails, and facilities

Project Site at Rinconada Dr.

A new park is coming to Rinconada Drive, adjacent to the Almaden Expressway and Curtner Avenue off-ramp. Plans are moving forward to develop 1.4 acres into a community park with a playground, walking loop, small pollinator garden, public art, and a bioretention area to help capture and clean stormwater.

As part of the City of San José’s efforts to improve water quality and create more recreation, learning, and cultural spaces in nearby neighborhoods, the community will also have the opportunity to help name the new park.
