San Jose Japantown Heinlenville Park Opens

Religious Ceremony
Connie Young Yu was instrumental in naming the park Heinlenville Park

 

 

 

San Jose’s Japantown newest park called Heinlenville Park recently opened on Tuesday October 10th 2023. The origin of Heinlenville started in 1887 when Chinatown on Market Street in San Jose’s downtown was purposely burned down due to racial hatred against Chinese people. But John Heinlen, a German immigrant farmer and businessman provided inexpensive leases and protection to the local Chinese community even though he was threatened by the city’s white community. Heinlenville in San Jose lasted until 1931 but closed down due to The Great Depression. The name Heinlenville Park was spearheaded by a letter-writing campaign by the Chinese Historical & Cultural Project (CHCP) with community support and finally approved by the San Jose City Council.

Viva Calle Sunday September 10th 2023

 

Bicycling & doggies

 

Scooter family

 

Wrestling at Viva Calle

 

Skaters

 

This is what Viva Calle is about

 

On a warm and sunny day on Sunday September 10th 2023 tens of thousands of bicycle riders rode through the streets of central San Jose. Viva CalleSJ is a family friendly recreation program on the streets of San Jose bringing diverse communities together to walk, bike, skate, and having fun in the city.

But Viva Calle, a popular community event in San Jose, could be reduced from 3 events to 2 next year if the city cuts the funding. The city plans to cut Viva Calle from three to two days, and cut 25% of Viva Parks budget or $1.1 million targeted for primarily minority neighborhoods to fund the new union deals. But the SJ citizens and Viva Calle participants can avert the cut in funding at an important City Council meeting on September 12th 2023.
