On January 23, 2013, Chicano Park and the Chicano Park Monumental Murals were listed on the National Register of Historic Places....  Not only do the murals represent exceptional works of public art that transformed the grey concrete support pillars and abutments of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge, they were also our 'super information highway' documenting through visual
                                                 iconography historical and current events
