Amid the hustle and bustle of Chinatown sits a quiet, unassum­ing park nestled behind trees on the corner of Seventh Avenue South and South Lane Street. A bronze dragon hovers over a giant yin-yang arrangement made of sand and grass. Rockery symbol­izing the mountainous regions of the Philippines rests alongside a small slide and merry-go-round.
