SJ Survey to Name New Park (thru Feb 8)

Please help the Parks Department of the City of San Jose to name a new park at Rinconada Drive.

The name, Bill Kee Park, has been submitted and is under consideration as one of the eligible names for the park. Bill Kee (1902-1989), father of CHCP Co-Founder/Trustee Gerrye Wong, was a Chinese American entrepreneur and community organizer in San José from 1937-1947. As a spokesman for the San Jose Chinatown community, he led an effort to preserve the original 1888 Ng Shing Gung temple as a historic landmark, the last remaining building from the Heinlenville Chinatown. (Learn more about Bill Kee's legacy.)

The naming survey (Survey #2) is open through February 8th! There is a limit of one survey vote per device (ex. phone, laptop, or desktop computer).
