54th Annual Chicano Park Day

Supporting Community Safety and Connection

On April 20, 2024, Caltrans proudly supported the 54th Annual Chicano Park Day, themed “Bringing Back the True Spirit and Energy of the Chicano Park Takeover.” This historic celebration brought together generations through traditional music and dance, a lowrider exhibition, and vibrant community art. 

In alignment with our Reconnecting Communities initiative, Caltrans provided a safety van and facilitated ramp closures near the park to ensure a safe and cohesive space for attendees. Our support helped create a pedestrian-friendly environment where community, culture, and history could be honored without disruption. 

We are grateful to the Chicano Park Steering Committee and all who made this day possible. Caltrans remains committed to uplifting community-led efforts that foster equity, safety, and cultural connection across our transportation systems.
