This is my favorite park in Manhattan, because of the elderly street musicians who congregate on benches to play antique traditional instruments and sing old songs in Chinese from Mao's glory days. REMEMBER TO PUT A CASH TIP IN THEIR VESSELS. Then wander thru the park, past the crowd of elders playing boardgames.

This park has a big astroturf field, a big pavilion where locals practice Tai-Chi, and lots of benches to watch locals play Chinese-chess. You can often find locals playing music from back home too. If your kids are driving you crazy, give them half an hour here as there are playgrounds, basketball courts, ping pong tables and chess tables. It's also a decent spot to rest and eat your dessert (lots of dessert options nearby). Don't bother looking for the statue of Christopher Columbus. They moved it decades ago.
