What to expect
Columbus Park
Columbus Park has its roots in the early 19th century when it was originally known as Mulberry Bend Park. At that time, the area was a notorious slum with overcrowded tenements, crime, and poverty. The park was established in 1897 as part of the city's efforts to improve living conditions in the neighborhood.
