Chochenyo Park (Alameda, California)
Jackson Park is a municipal park in Alameda, California that is located one block off of the Park Street business district.
The park was established in 1895.[1] Named originally as Alameda Park, it was renamed Jackson Park in 1909 for President Andrew Jackson. In 2018, the City of Alameda Rec and Park Commission considered renaming the park again.[2]
At one end of the park is a large concrete bench with a plaque reading "In Memory of My Dumb Friends" where the singer Jim Morrison was known to hang out and smoke when he lived in Alameda.[3]
