Lonely Planet review

This is where outdoor mah jong and dominos take place at bridge tables while tai chi practitioners move through lyrical poses under shady trees and locals hang out on benches with their caged birds in tow. Judo-sparring and families relaxing are also common sights here, in the communal space created in the 1890s and now the property of the locals.

The Five Points neighbourhood, the inspiration for Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York , was located at the foot of Columbus Park.
