Columbus Park, Public park in Chinatown, Manhattan, United States
The 2.97-acre park contains green spaces, seating areas, pathways, playgrounds, and game tables spread across multiple connected sections.
The park, established in 1897 as Mulberry Bend Park, replaced a section of dangerous slums in the Five Points neighborhood following Jacob Riis's advocacy.
Local Chinese residents gather daily in the park to play mahjong, practice tai chi, and perform traditional music, creating a center of community life.
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation maintains the grounds and facilities, with daily operating hours from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
A statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen stands in the northern plaza, commemorating the Chinese revolutionary leader who spent time in Manhattan's Chinatown.
