Lower Manhattan's Chelsea Park remains famous for its striking World War I plaque, the Doughboy memorial, along with lush green expanses and shaded areas. A number of well-laid out asphalt tracks, handball courts, basketball fields and playgrounds make it one of the most popular recreational areas of Chelsea. The park's first ground was set up in 1910 and ever since, it has served as a sprawling outing venue for the city residents.
