"In 1935, the Wa Sung Community Service Club built and opened the Chinese Center in Lincoln Square Park as a Depression-era WPA project, and it’s since become an anchor for Chinatown. Before the pandemic, you’d see elders practicing tai chi, chess players crowding around tables, basketball pick-up games, and children in the playground climbing the iconic junk boat. For the past year, it’s sadly been a bit too quiet, but like Chinatown, we can expect this treasured space to bounce back quickly. Learn more about Lincoln Square Park’s history and plans to expand through Friends of Lincoln Square Park." - Daphne Wu
