About Chinese Reconciliation Project
The Chinese Reconciliation Project is a park located in Tacoma, Washington, that serves as a memorial and place of healing for the tragic expulsion of the Chinese people from the city in 1885. Established in 1994 by the Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation, the park features several notable structures, including the Fuzhou Ting, a pavilion gifted by Tacoma's sister city in China, and the String of Pearls Bridge. The park offers a serene and scenic environment, with opportunities to enjoy activities such as paddle boarding and walking along the waterfront. Visitors can often spot wildlife, including seals, sea lions, and various birds. However, the park's funding and development have been limited, and it remains a work in progress. Despite the park's beauty and historical significance, it has faced some challenges, including vandalism and a lack of proper maintenance. The park's history, which includes the tragic events of 1885, serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the rights of immigrants and preventing similar injustices from occurring in the future. Overall, the Chinese Reconciliation Project is a valuable asset to the Tacoma community, providing a space for reflection, recreation, and the preservation of an important chapter in the city's history.
