#0624 Warring Park

Site information:

Warring Park, 700 block of Orchard St, Piru

While there still is a Warring Park, the landmark commemorates not this park, but the location where Portola visited a Piru village.  Nothing remains of that site, as far as I know.

On August 11, 1769, the explorers and priests accompanying Portolá found a populous village of Piru Indians near this point. Carrying their bowstrings loose, the Indians offered necklaces of stones, in exchange for which Portolá presented them with beads.
