History: The site of Dr. Jose Rizal Park is a favorite gathering and picnic spot for members of the Filipino community. The meadow slope site was transferred to the parks Department in 1971, and was named after Dr. Jose Rizal three years later. Rizal was a Filipino patriot who, during his short life, made lasting contributions to medicine, political and social reform, engineering and a large number of other disciplines. He was executed as a result of being accused of complicity in the Filipino insurrection of 1896. The park was formally dedicated in 1979. There are only 2 parks in the nation named after Dr Rizal, one in Chicago and the other in Seattle. The bridge is the only bridge in the nation named after a Filipino Hero. Artwork at the park includes a mosaic/mural titled East and West, by the late Seattle University Art Professor, Val Laigo
