Columbus Park is a park at the southern end of Cadman Plaza, in Brooklyn, New York City, United States.
Memorials
The park features the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, statues of Christopher Columbus and Henry Ward Beecher, and a tree commemorating John F. Kennedy.
Parking lot
Beginning in 1999, Justices of the Kings County Supreme Court have utilized a portion of Columbus Park as a parking lot for their private vehicles. The parking situation began as a temporary solution whilst a new parking garage was being constructed, but it has now persisted for over two decades, to the chagrin of many local residents. The area which has been transformed into a parking lot sits at the southeast corner of Columbus Park, at the corner of Joralemon and Adams Streets; it is still zoned as parkland.
