Locke Memorial Park in Walnut Grove, CA is a peaceful and reflective tribute to the Chinese immigrants who played a significant role in California's history. The park, constructed on a vacant lot, features a black granite monument designed by a local artist and is surrounded by beautiful scenery, making it an ideal spot for visitors to relax and explore the town's rich heritage.
The Locke Foundation, a non-profit public benefit organization, oversees the park and is dedicated to preserving the cultural significance of Locke. Through events, festivals, and guided tours, the foundation aims to educate visitors about the contributions of Chinese immigrants, from their involvement in the gold rush to their role in building the levees and railroads, ultimately shaping the farms and towns of the western United States.
