About The Park
Located on the rolling grasslands of the Concord Hills and ancestral territory of the Chupcan Peoples, Thurgood Marshall Regional Park - Home of the Port Chicago 50 aims to share stories of social injustice and bravery, connect community, and offer protected space for both nature and people to heal.
The future park will include:
- A visitor center to feature local histories, including the 1944 Port Chicago Disaster that killed over 320 men, most of whom were Black sailors, the mutiny trial that ensued, and the fights for social justice and civil rights that led to the desegregation of the Navy.
- 3,000 acres of open space to connect Concord communities, made highly accessible with new public transit routes, public access points, and staging areas.
- Recreational opportunities, including camping, hiking, biking, and picnic areas.
- Protected habitats and wildlife corridors to support the many native species of the area.
Together, we will build Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50 to honor the past, protect the future, and provide access for all.
Even though the future park is currently closed to the public, Naturalist-led programs and public tours are scheduled throughout the year to enable safe public access. Keep an eye on our Events Calendar for upcoming events and programs.
