Columbus Park is a park, and the only open space in the Chinatown neighborhood, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The park is bordered by Worth Street, Baxter Street, Bayard Street and Mulberry Street.
What is today a tranquil park was once a red light district. That was in the 19th century, when the neighborhood was a slum area overrun by gangsterism. In 1892 the area was cleaned up and turned into a park.
