The addition of the Chinese Cultural Garden to Overfelt is primarily the work of Chinese immigrant Frank Lowe, his wife Pauline (who serves as park docent), and Dr. Chen Li-Fu of Taiwan. Features and eventsFeatures include an ornamental Friendship Gate, the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, the Chiang Kai-shek Pavilion, a large statue of Confucius, the Plum Pavilion, a sundial, and a carved, 15 ton black marble stone, mined and shipped from the Republic of China (Taiwan), donated by Tainan, one of San Jose's sister cities. The Friendship Gate is {{convert|50|ft}} wide and {{convert|40|ft}} tall, dedicated in July 1977. Materials, including 500-year-old juniper wood, were sourced from China.[1] The characters written above the central portal are read right to left as: {{zh|t=天下一家|p=tiānxià yījiā|l=All under heaven are one family}}. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is constructed from marble, bronze, and mahogany and was built in Taiwan, disassembled, then shipped and reassembled in San Jose. It features a ceramic tile roof weighing almost twenty tons.[2][3] The large black stone is a gift from Tainan and is at least one million years old.[2] It was placed in Overfelt Gardens on {{date|1980-10-10|df=yes}}, marking the Chinese day of independence from Imperial rule. The large red carved characters on the rock are {{zh|t=忠孝|p=Zhōng Xiào|labels=no}}, meaning loyalty.[3] On the third Sunday of September, the park celebrates the Chinese Moon Festival. It is primarily an event to showcase Asian performing arts, but also has arts and crafts for children and promotional booths from non-profit organizations, such as Cityteam and the San José Police Department. {{clear}}GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.sjpl.org/blog/overfelt-gardens-park-place-relaxtion-middle-bustling-san-jose |title=Overfelt Gardens Park: A Place of Relaxation in the Middle of Bustling San Jose |author=Wall, Jessica |date=11 August 2017 |publisher=San Jose Public Library |accessdate=11 March 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.sanjoseinside.com/2014/01/17/1_17_14_overfelt_garden_park_chinese_cultural/ |title=San Jose's Park within a Park |author=Reber, James P. |date=17 January 2014 |newspaper=San Jose Inside |accessdate=23 June 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.chineseculturalgarden.org/tour.htm |title=Chinese Cultural Garden: Tour |author= |date=2015 |website=Chinese Cultural Garden |accessdate=23 June 2016}}
