Gotham Park sits where the Bowery ends and Park Row begins — the last stretch of open ground before the Brooklyn Bridge, and the first stretch of Chinatown for anyone walking from it.

As a grassroots organization, Gotham Park aims to reactivate forgotten outdoor spaces by revitalizing a world-class public space under the Brooklyn Bridge that nurtures connection, discovery, and wonder. Welcome to Chinatown’s own work bolsters neighborhood economic resiliency by fostering long-term success for small businesses.

As neighbors sharing the same few blocks, Gotham Park and Welcome to Chinatown have worked to unite the communities we serve from opposite ends and advancing our shared goals around connection, culture, and economic opportunity. Mid-Autumn Festival is where this work will be celebrated this year.

Together, we aim to strengthen the community connection between Lower Manhattan’s neighborhoods.
