César Chávez Park is 90 acres in size and did not always look so nice, It was a landfill in 1957, untill In 1969, the city adopted the Marina Master Plan. In 1991 the city completely sealed the landfill and the park opened soon thereafter, first named North Waterfront Park, then renamed after César E. Chávez, who was a union leader and founder of the United Farm Workers of America.
Today a paved paths goes around and through the park, with picnic tables, barbecue grills, and a sun dial.
