Elizabeth LeeOctober 18, 2016Outdoor park in Chinatown. Their toilets really could use some washing up.- Martin JenningsSeptember 15, 2016Love watching Chinese people playing games here and listening to the music. Grab a vivi bubble drink and sit here
- Yousif DMay 31, 2016Great park in Chinatown! It could be busy during the weekend and national holidays.
Evan StaffMarch 26, 2016Come here, rock out, and play some chess with some old Cantonese people. Also boasts a public bathroom, for the exceptionally brave.

Tai chi in the early morning...... Soccer and basketball all day nice playground and seniors gossiping and playing marjong
CompassApril 24, 2014Enjoy the soccer fields and chess tables, but don’t be surprised if a live dance troupe or chorus takes over Chinatown’s most popular park.- Jefferson LouieJuly 4, 2013Great for people watching. The retirement park for the seniors of Chinatown.
Play pick-up with us Saturdays 2p and on. No douchebags wanted...
Rob KelleyJune 8, 2012Canal Street may have the commerce but this park has Chinatown's community. Stroll through the north end with its Mahjong and card players musicians, and old folks just sitting and chatting. Awesome.- Cops will try to kick you out for playing soccer. Fight the power =)
G WongMarch 23, 2012The amount of Chinese people lounging, singing, playing chess, whatever in this park is a serious glimpse into Chinese culture. Also, there's a soccer field in this park if you fancy.
FamilyFunMarch 1, 2012There's a great playground plus traditional Chinatown sights such as groups of mah-jongg players and people practicing tai chi at sunrise.
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 6, 2012There’s an amazing mix of people congregated here – old, young, athletic, crazy – and we love it. The public bathrooms are the cleanest around.
The mosquitos will eat you alive at night. Careful!- Eddie R.August 23, 2011I lived near here for decades. Come here for a taste of (mostly southern) Chinese culture.

The Family RecordsJune 28, 2011Great for some quiet thinking time! Spot the caged birds in the trees.
Matthew PantojaAugust 13, 2010From the Baxter & Bayard St. side of this park you might see who's getting booked at "The Tombs" and who's taking an "up north trip".
The StandardAugust 3, 2010NY (See) You don’t need to go to China to experience the Chinese culture. Come take a stroll in the park and experience everything from martial arts to little old men playing chess. Read more
Naomi N.April 17, 2010The Chinese Senior Citizen Orchastra is really fun to watch on Sunday afternoons in the spring and summer!
