Homeless Camp Fills Columbus Park Pavilion Steps From NYC Hall, Neighbors Recoil
A cluster of tents and makeshift shelters has taken over the raised stone pavilion at Columbus Park in Lower Manhattan, just steps from City Hall, with residents complaining of overwhelming odors and children playing nearby as the camp grows. The encampment includes about a half-dozen tents and shelters beneath the pavilion, furnished with a couch, tables, an electrical charging station, clothing hung on railings and music playing from inside the tents, according to the New York Post.
