67 reviews of Columbus Park "I enjoyed stopping by this park and seeing the locals! You can find lots of Chinese games being played at each of the picnic tables and music in the park played live! We didn't stay long but enjoyed it."
This park exists due to Abram S. Hewitt’s love for parks. He was our mayor from 1887-1888 and it was through him that much funding was given for the creation of small parks in Manhattan.
