Baldwin Park station is a Metrolink train station in Baldwin Park, California, United States, between Pacific Avenue and Ramona Boulevard next to Baldwin Park City Hall. [4] The station is owned by the City of Baldwin Park.
Baldwin Park station is served by 44 Metrolink San Bernardino Line trains (22 in each direction) each weekday, with trains arriving every 30 minutes for most of the day, and every 60 minutes in the early morning and evening. Weekend service consists of 16 trains (8 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, evenly spaced throughout the day. [5]
Danza Indigenas is outdoor artwork at the station by Chicana artist Judy Baca which includes a concrete footpath that represents ceremonial steps performed by early California inhabitants, the Gabrielino and Chumash Indians. [6] The monument bears several engraved statements whose origins are not attributed. In mid-2005, "Save Our State", an anti-illegal immigration group based in Ventura County, launched a series of protests over an inscription –It was better before they came – that Save Our State claimed was directed against whites. According to Baca, that sentence was uttered by a white Baldwin Park politician in the 1950s; he was lamenting the influx of persons of Mexican ancestry into the San Gabriel Valley following World War II. The protests drew counter-protesters, and required city expenditure on crowd control and riot police, an admitted goal of Save Our State. [4] [7]
