Memorial to Riverside's Chinese Community at Bonaminio Park

A memorial consisting of a small garden with groupings of basalt columns, one of which has an inscription in Chinese characters, is located on the eastern most tip of Ryan Bonaminio Park (5000 Tequesquite Ave, Riverside, CA).  A plaque (shown below) indicates that the garden honors the many contributions of the Chinese community throughout the history of Riverside.  The Chinese characters "welcome visitors into the garden and park".  The park is located close to where Riverside's second Chinatown was once located. The designers and artists involved are not identified.
