Today, with visitoakland, we visited the historic San Antonio Park. “Located on a gently sloping hillside in an area named for the Rancho San Antonio from the Mexican era of California, San Antonio Park is now a community space where cultures intersect and people of all ages come together. Originally known as Independence Square during the early development of Oakland, the space was renamed San Antonio Park sometime after 1912. In contemporary times, San Antonio Park has played an important role in the history of the Chicano Movement. The park was notably the site of the Chicano Moratorium rally against the Vietnam War in 1970 and continues to host cultural and community events through the present day.” Drop your favorite memory. #AroundTown | #VisitOakland
