Columbus Park is a bustling public park located at the intersection of Mulberry, Baxter, and Worth Streets in Manhattan's Chinatown. It serves as a community hub where locals gather for tai chi, chess, card games, and socializing. The park features a large playground, basketball courts, handball courts, and plenty of benches shaded by mature trees. In the mornings, you'll see groups practicing martial arts or dancing; afternoons bring families and children playing.
