<p>Columbus Park got a much-needed clean-up and spruce-up this morning as employees and interns from Godman Sachs descended on the much-used northern end of the park.  The crew of 25 corporate employees weeded and cleaned up flower beds and the common areas that yielded 20 bags of refuse. </p>

<p>Columbus Park is among a handful of open spaces in the crowded tenement jungle of Chinatown and the Lower East Side.  Long a popular gathering spot for seniors to socialize.  The park has taken on more importance to the community in the aftermath of being displaced from a nearby senior center when a fire in Feb 2020 forced them out of 70 Mulberry Street. </p>
