The Great Lawn is 13 acres of green grass located in the middle of central park from 79th to 86th St. This location earlier had a rectangular reservoir “Lower Reservoir”which became redundant and so the reservoir was filled to become “The Green Lawn”.

Great Lawn is a oval lawn with a carpet of lush Kentucky Bluegrass, baseball fields, basketball courts, and lots of room for sports and leisure activities. The Great Lawn also has free concerts every summer by the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, and has also hosted concerts, movie screenings, and a papal mass. This Lawn also has many trees such as Hawthorn, Crabapple, Kwanzan and Yoshino Cherry.

More than 817 acres of the park was burned in a devastating fire, destroying the bird sanctuary. The park was repaired and restored with some areas still closed for public.
