Columbus Park

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.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
