“I’m honored that this place represents our people by name of a territory, but that we are still here. This is not the end of our work with Emeryville.”
Overview of the new Huchiun Park, photographed Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Emeryville, Calif. The confluence of Emeryville’s industrial past and vision for a sustainable, equitable future merged Saturday with the history of the land the city sits on at the opening of a new green space: Huchiun Park.
The grassy, 2-acre park is surrounded by more than 500 housing units on three sides, and features a kids play area, basketball court, community garden and art installations. In order to make sure the city doesn’t lose sight of its past, Emeryville residents were solicited this fall for ideas of names that referenced either the park’s legacy, distinct geographic location or a person who made significant contributions to the city.
“It’s because of the work that we have done — not just the Lisjan people, but people from all walks of life — that has educated the public about where we are,” Gould said during Saturday’s ceremony. “Emeryville is always punching above its weight,” Bonta said Saturday. “When you talk about creating this beautiful, built-community — taking something that was literally toxic to the land and turning it into a space where people can convene, celebrate and have housing — this is such an amazing example of what the potential of California is.”
