Patzkunga (Rudy Ortega Sr. Park)

In 2009, the FTBMI partnered with the City of San Fernando and Parks and Recreation to advise on the Heritage Park site in the City, on the village lands of Patzkunga. The park is located on the historic land holding maintained by Tribal Captain Rogerio Rocha. Rudy Ortega Sr Park is 3.5 acres that contains a unique educational and cultural venue that reflect San Fernando’s rich history. Among these features are simulated traditional village, a Japanese tea house, a Mission-style plaza, a small amphitheater and the restoration of a historic water tower. All are linked by a walking trail that winds through open spaces landscaped with drought tolerant plants and trees.
