Chinese Garden Park was originally known as Harrison Square when the city was laid out, and was known as Harrison Railroad Park from 1967 until the 1990s. After the trains were removed, the Hall of Pioneers was designed by Henry Chang, Jr., an architect and former City Councilmember who also designed the Silver Dragon Restaurant and other buildings in Chinatown. William Wong wrote the text for the exhibit. Now the building is used by Family Bridges; it was formerly one of two sites for Family Bridges' Hong Lok Senior Center, but is now part of the Lake Merritt Child Care Center.
