This is a 28-acre park boasting one of the largest lakes within city limits, with nearby tunnels dating back to the late 1800s. It is believed that these tunnels, whose creators remain unknown, were possibly made by Chinese immigrants to drain the swamp for agriculture, giving the park its name. Despite the mystery surrounding the tunnels' origins, this area boasts a rich history and stunning natural surroundings.
