Glad to see that it's been rebuilt! Nice composition with strong angular lines and few colors. I also like the tricycler absorbed with his smart phone.
Introduction
The Tacoma City Council passed Resolution No. 32415 on November 30, 1993, to reconcile the 1885 expulsion of Tacoma’s Chinese citizens led by the Mayor and civic leaders of that time, to express Tacoma’s commitment to end racism and hatred, and to promote a peaceful, multicultural community. The Chinese Reconciliation Park is a critical component of the community-led reconciliation process, and a joint project of the City of Tacoma and the non-profit Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation.
Location
The park is located at the southern end of the 1.5-mile Ruston Way waterfront park along the Commencement Bay, and is in the proximity of the early Chinese settlement that was burned down during the tragic expulsion. (Address: 1741 N. Schuster Parkway, Tacoma, WA 98403)
Size
3.9 acres (donated by the National Guard)
Design
The park design is a mixture of traditional Chinese scholar’s style gardens and beautiful natural waterfront setting. The design creates a variety of spaces carefully defined by walls, mounds, rockwork, landforms, interpretive displays, native and exotic plants, water features, and pavilions and classrooms with the Chinese motif. The layout of the park provides a progressive learning environment for the visitors to experience the sojourners’ journey to America and their tragic expulsion, to explore opportunities for reconciliation, and to participate in educational, cultural and social functions.
