The artist and landscape architect team designed the Cesar Chavez Commemorative as a plaza that suggests the agricultural fields where Chavez spent most of his life working and advancing the rights of field laborers. The site's raised planters, desert plants, surface treatments and representation of a river wash create a quiet place for reflection and gathering. Martin Moreno designed four bronze plaques, 4' by 3' each, symbolizing events from Chavez's life as a leader of the United Farm Workers. The plaques are placed on each of the four sides of the plaza and are accompanied by written narratives. Zarco Guerrero's 8' tall statue of Chavez stands at the center of the plaza, facing the park's fields and mountains.
