Columbus Park (Brooklyn)
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.
