when the community of logan heights and chicano movement activists joined forces to protest the construction of a california highway patrol station on the present site of the park the chp office was at the time the final insult to a community that had already been degraded by the demolition of hundreds of homes to make way for interstate 5 the construction of the coronado bridge the placement of toxic industries junkyards lack of community facilities proper schools jobs social or medical services protesters led by the brown berets community activists artists m e ch a and others took over the site and faced police and bulldozers for days while negotiations took place that resulted in the land being given over for a community park in the following days and months similar actions by the same groups led to the forming of a chicano free clinic now known as the logan heights family health center and the centro cultural de la raza in balboa park the struggle for chicano park came to symbolize
