Lorenzo Z Tartaglia have been visiting this wonderfully enchanting park since perhaps the 1970s or earlier. This place was once upon a time a part of the old Italian neighborhood known as little Italy. But no longer. Most all of us real Italians (born in Italy) have moved out. It has now become a Chinese park. And they have done a wonderful job in maintaining and transforming it into a Chinese cultural treasure. It has truly become a gem of Chinatown, here within NYC. We Italians no longer deserve the right to be honored by incorrectly continuing to name this park Columbus park. It should be most appropriately renamed to Dr Sun, Yat-Sen Park. Who brought democratic freedom to great nation of China. In his spirit (Dr Sun) my heart, my love, my prayers are for the freedom of all people on this planet.

This, though in the middle of Chinatown is the most New York and used park in the city! The importance of this park to the community; Chinese and formerly Italian and the Civic community cannot be underestimated! From dawn to dusk it is filled with the life of the community. At dawn Chinese come out to do Tai Chi with swords yet! It is wonderful to see! The old men and women come to play Mah jong and smoke cigarrettes and talk. The children and schools use the park all day and the field is always being used. Workers eat their lunch here and very cheap chinese buns from bakeries and dumplings for a dollar are also available.Sometimes a chinese band is playing by the pavillion. And there is usually a funeral march with a marching band going by on Mott St. The Real N.Y.!

Chinatown ı ziyaretimizde uzak doğu pazarından daha önce tatmadığımız meyvalardan satın alıp Columbus Parkta yedik. Çevredeki yaşlı insanların buluşma noktası gibi burası. Masalarda küçük gruplar halinde oturup Xiangqi oynayan ve sohbet eden insanlarla dolu olmasına rağmen, sessiz ve huzurlu. Şehrin ortasında sevimli, sakin, kendine has bir park.

Ein sehr aufregender Park mitten in Chinatown. Geeignet für kurze Pausen. Überall spielen einheimische meist ältere Asiaten verschiedene Tischspiele. Mitunter spielen einige ein Instrument und sorgen für typische chinesische Unterhaltung. Daher nichts für Ruhesuchende. Nebenan ein kleiner Sport und Spielplatz.

Columbus Park is culturally rich with Chinese singers, musicians, tai chi artists, and gamblers. The latter is particularly not fond of photos, so, if you want to anger a phalanx of Asian gamblers, take out your camera. Recalcitrants. They play in the upper quad area, by the way. Because of the heavy congregation, there is a lot of trash, which invites rodents and a not-so-pleasing smell. However, that is the ethos here. If youre looking for a relaxing place to lounge like Central Madison Parks, then this isnt the place. If youre looking for the Old World Chinese folks in their habitat, this location has that notoriety.

唐人街比较大的公园就几个,一个是哥伦布公园,一个是格兰街公园。这个公园老人家蛮多的,前一段是时间还有孙中山雕像,下面写着“天下为公”, 这个公园最不好的地方就是临近多家殡仪馆 (Mulberry St), 西边却是纽约市婚姻登记处。红白两事除了假期几乎不停。总而言之, 这种环境下的感觉确实不良好。

Multiple basketball courts, a playground, a turf field, a tree shaded sitting area and a pavilion, this park is well equipped. In the morning people use it to practice tai chi, so dont be surprised when you see somebody wielding a sword (Jian) before youve had a cup of coffee. As the day progresses school children are brought in for recreation, the tables are occupied by people playing chess, dominoes, & mahjong, the courts are busy with pickup games. The rodents are conspicuous, but they mainly keep to the burrowers near the trees. Fortune tellers and traditional musicians add to the vibrant cultural atmosphere.

Si estás pasando para ir al barrio chino, vale la pena ir aquí. Lo interesante sólo está en la escultura, lean lo que está escrito ahí. Sino vas a ir al barrio chino, no vale la pena hacer el viaje sólo para visitar este parque. ¿Algo más que podría agregar? Hay baños.

This park has been rejuvenated and cleaned up since some years ago. There is a soccer field and a volley ball court next to a "concrete slab" that has been redesigned with a pavilion and a walking area. On short walk-through, I couldnt help but wander through the park and take in the sights as chinese street performers, Tai Chi in the pavilion, chinese checkers and card games. I indeed admire the ferverent dedication Chinese people have to playing cards and Chinese chess. Sunny, cloudy, rainy or butt freezing cold - theyre here. ****

Desde este parque puedes dar un recorrido a Chinatown o si la temperatura te lo permite puedes llegar desde alli a la Pequena Italia y disgustar un buen almuerzo en sus maravillosos restaurantes ...pero no te saldra tan barato como en Chinatown .

Very big park with one gaming section, one big sports section, and one children playground. The park has nice flowers and feels earthy. Park has nice water sprinkles which are relaxing and the red seating year. Tons of seats throughout the park. Also a great spot to have takeout food and snacks from Chinatown and Little Italy. The park is well maintained cause i noticed the flowers lovely and fresh. Nice park and feels a little crowded and less sunny due to the surrounding buildings.

Si vous êtes à proximité arrêtez-vous 5 minutes dans ce parc pour observer les personnes jouant aux jeux de dames, déchec, dominos ou autres jeux chinois, mais si vous nêtes pas à proximité pas grand intérêt de faire un détour pour venir voir ce parc.

Bel parco, piccolo ma grazioso, il posto giusto per una pausa durante la visita di Little Italy e Chinatown. Ci sono tanti ristoranti take away dove prendere ravioli fritti e questo è il posto giusto per consumarli in pace.

Neighborhood park and playground in the heart of Chinatown. Excellent place to sit and relax. Everyones enjoying the place. Soccer field, basketball court, childrens play area, water area for the hot summer days. You can even sit and listen to the neighborhood residents, who come together, play and sing their cultural songs using traditional instruments. Love the feel of this place. My family and I come here everytime were in the area.

Since I cant add photos of Chinatown I just add to Columbus park. The park is great for all ages. Chinatown have lots of great restaurants to eat at so dont get discourage to try everything. Lots to see if your a tourist of Chinatown around and great local spots to get a piece of new York from the little statue of statue liberty to I love ny shirts to key chains and magnets. Overall great for tourist and lots to explore.

Grab some ice cream from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and walk over for rest and people watching. During the warm months there are groups of older musicians playing a variety of instruments. All year round there are the tables crowded with little old men and women playing ferocious rounds of cards. Across from the tables you can watch kids play soccer. Its a lovely family park filled with Chinatown locals.

Piccolo parco situato a Chinatown. Lambiente è carino ed è possibile vedere qualche cantante o qualche musicista cinese allopera. Sono presenti anche dei campi da Basket, da calcio e da pallavolo.

Great place to sit down and chill after walking out-of-towners through Chinatown. If you start on the Eastside and come West, you end up here. If you start on the West and walk East, you end up at Roosevelt park. Both are great, and both are always full of the usual suspects--table game hustlers, dancing mommas, taichi/qigong early risers, and hella young parents and their young kids.

Un pequeño lugar, en donde la colectividad china puede practicar su musica, estar al aire libre descansando y mezclarse con los turistas curiosos y los ejecutivos de Wall Street
