Whether your playing ball or having a picnic. Great lawn is where its at. Stroll over to the nearby turtle pond. Scale the mighty belvedere castle. Sit beneath the shady pines. A perfect place to visit after the MET or museum of natural history.

Nov 6: wonderful day to spend some time here. Sun shining, musicians playing. Pandemic? Elections? Fogedda about.

The Great Lawn in Central Park is a large oval shaped area containing ball fields and areas for other activities. Beautiful place and very well kept.

Great place to enjoy a nice picnic outside

The modern castle is called Belvedere castle at the southern end of the lawn mere the Delacourt outdoor theatre.

Fantastic place for local NYC residents to relax, pack a picnic, play outdoor sports, go for a long walk, and unwind from the long work week.

Beautiful place to spend the last week of summer 2020.You can even fly a kite here!

Its great! Just be careful that you dont set up your picnic in the outfield of an ongoing softball game.

The epitome of urban serenity, one of the locations for the New York Philharmonic’s summer concerts in the park, one of very few places in Manhattan where you can see the non-obstructed sky.

A lot of people doing picnic, reading a book or just hanging out with friends. Some playing baseball and some basketball.Really cool view of the skyscrapers of midtown far away.You can pass an entire day at this location and the rest of central park.

During a sunny and warm day the great lawn is perfect for a picnic, meeting with coworkers or workout out.

I went there with two slices of pizza and my favorite coffee done perfectly. I sat on a bench underneath some shade. I did some work, and when I was ready I went home. It was a perfect afternoon.

Idyllic day at a well-preserved, pristine location in world famous, cosmopolitan Central Park of New York City!

Love coming to central park. Best way to destress during all the craziness!

Perfect location to just lie down and enjoy sunbathing on a summer day. The place is always buzzing with people on weekends and holidays.You would find people of all age groups having the time of their life here. A lot of movies have also been shot here.

It is a piece of grass. But it was fenced so you could not even (officially) step on it in order to take photos of the scenery around you. However, if it is opened for the public it i likely to be a great area to relax and escape the cities madness a little bit.

If you need to get a tan then its a must go place! Thank me later! You are welcome!

Lovely spot for a picnic on a summer afternoon! Light music is a common background.

Plenty of room, can always find a spot. If you get lucky you can even catch a baseball!

Beautiful and well kept lawn. Great for picnics with shade around the periphery.

Beautiful manicured lawn..wide open spaces..who could ask for more!

A very beautiful day in the park a great place to unwind and relax

Always very clean and cool vibes.

Not the greatest lawn but still great.

If you want to relax in a nice place , go there ( nice and peacefull )

Beautiful area of NY. Worth visiting with the family when weather is nice.

Nice place, but can get overcrowded at times

One of the largest open spaces in new York City! Unfortunately, its covered in people. I highly suggest almost any place north of 96th street to get away from the crowd.

Great views but get there early is best plan.

End of May...quite warm in full sun but no bugs yet, is absolutely ideal. Trust.I try to stay far away from the football throwers and frisbee players but without fail they slowly gravitate towards me. That and the drones are the only annoying things.Most people keep the music to a minimum. Theres a little weed smoking, technically not allowed but people are respectful about it. People still leave their trash though. Cmon guys. Cmon.Even on a spectacular Saturday, in May its not crowded. Its perfection and one of the best parts of NYC.

Beautiful place specially for kids

Wonderful space, great jumping off point to the rest of the park as well.

Probably the nicest grass youll find in Central Park.

As the name sake would imply this is not your average park lawn, it is great. It can get a bit crowded during the weekend as everyone wants to escape their lonely studios during the pandemic however, there is usually enough room to still stay socially distanced from others, you just have to look for a bit.

An outstanding public lawn in Central Park. This is a great place to visit with friends or family, sit and read a book, play catch, or appreciate the fresh outdoor air. I would recommend visiting all of Central Park, and the Great Lawn is a good location to relax for visitors and natives alike. New York City is fortunate to have such wonderful public parks, so lets advocate for more!

The great lawn is a beautiful place without a doubt. Never had any issues when being there. Thats until the day of the global citizens festival! Never seen such an unorganized concert in my life! People were skipping, there was a stampede and everything. Never going to a free concert there again.

Love spending time here. Relaxing and beautiful.

Great open space, sorely needed these days.

Great spot in the middle of the park. Gorgeous

This is another review of a great park. I have posted a lot of pictures on the park. Different seasons so a person can get a sense of what its like. Took some good pictures this past weekend. Will post them soon. I think I may have posted some already. Read all the reviews and just look at the pictures. If that doesnt make you want to come here, I dont know what will. Great place.

Just hang under a tree and read a book or people watch

Lots of space to take advantage of

Its a lawn. Its great.

This a great spot in Central Park. Very relaxing to just sit and read a book, walk around, lay in the sun or play a game. Beautiful place tucked away in the city. The tall trees and beautiful grounds are a welcome sight in the summer.

Where life happens...

Well, Im very biased to rate The Great Lawn at this time. I was here to watch the Global Citizen Festival 2019.What can I say? Its huge, the grass is soft and it hosted over 60,000 people and an amazing 5 hour concert aiming to end World poverty.Whats not to love about it?

Beautiful Lawn that is very relaxing and spacious.

I had an amazing time; I took my girlfriend here to have a intimate picnic. The view was nice and very easy to get to. I do recommend bringing an activity, like Frisbee, Football, etc. The Lawn was clean and poop-free.

A popular event venue.

This is a great field to have a pick nic but in the winter or sometimes during the summer it is closed due to the grass needs time to grow or it needs to be poison for mice!

Dont miss a weekend morning walk around the great lawn with the dog walkers. A real New York experience!!!!!

Best Central Park location for access to bathrooms.Sheeps meadow is better but if you think youll need a bathroom cant beat the theater bathrooms next too the great lawn. Better than the giant line at sheeps meadow.

Waiting for 4th of July fireworks

Great place to relax and get FULL SUN ALL DAY. Far enough away from the buildings on57th street that block the park of the sun.

This a great land of freedom.

Nice area to do your walk

Great place to run around and fetch with dogs!

One could very easily spend hours wandering around here and almost get lost. A truly remarkable venue in the middle of Manhattan

Always great place for rest. Seems more popular than sheep meadow for local people. If you want to see what their lives look like for weekends, have several hours here.

It is peace..in the middle of the city

Lovely park

Too dense for covid19

Beautiful fall day!

Great Park! It is awesome to see a nice park like this in a big big city!

6 softball fields and 2 more off to the side offers the best softball playing experience that any player can have. The Great Lawn is a huge, big green grassed area that open for frisbee to just sunbathing. No wonder concerts are held here as a special events place! Lovely place to check while in town!

Yum yum. Up from KC Nd went for breakfast. We will be back. Cute and cosey

Love

Catch the amazing cherry blossoms right now during the spring time!

We just enjoyed the Global Citizens Music Festival on the Great Lawn. Thank you NYC, Global Citizen and partners, fantastic concert!!!

I mean, its central park, must I say more?

Its central park, it just works

Beautiful, a great place to walk your dog before 9AM!

A must on your look.

The best place in the entire world

A very relaxing great lawn to walk around and watch some people playing sports.

Love to run in the morning

A classic spot that lives up to expectations

Beautiful September afternoon

Its a great place for a family outing.

Lovely little patch of grass to relax on or enjoy a nice softball game when in season!

Beautiful place to meet.

Its like a giant front lawn for all New Yorkers to share. Its nice and quiet.

Nice view, great place to go in warmer weather

Le poumon de MANHATTAN.Dont miss tavern on the green.for lunch.a MUST.!!!

One of the best spot in central park to be active, have a picnic or just relax on the grass.

Super nice place to run, play, or have a picnic at.

Pasturesque horizon to sunbathe or sport-play. The vastness of the area from time to time is the theater of Pokemon fanatics and seeing the chase invisible creatures with battery-operated gadgets is quite fascinating. It has all the qualities one is looking for to escape from hustle-and-bustle.

The perfect place for Cheese and incognito wine. (I recommend bringing it in coffee to go cups).

People still not wearing mask! And people bringing their dogs on the lawn.

The great lawn is the great lawn, its so great its very own great grandmother Grace said the greatest things. Great Great Great.

Scenic spot in the park to catch a tan, read a book or throw a frisbee. Can get quite crowded in the warmer months but its a nice distraction from the city.

Great spot in CP but very popular. Can be too packed with sceney new yorkers sometimes. Get here early if you want to kick the footy

Wide open spaces, green grass, people watching, and play. What could be finer?!

Get your vitamin D

Wonderfull place

The great lawn is a great place to have a picnic or sit and enjoy nature. There are many people around you, but there is a way to get away from them. I go here just to relax. There is also a bathroom here, and there is a lot of space to walk around in.

Very nice place to sit and rest after walking through the city

Great place to relax in the summer, walk your dogs, and even jog around. The Met museum, the Obelisk, the Belvedere castle, and the Shakespeare theater are nearby walking distance.

Awesome!

Great place to walk with my toddler when he just wants to be free.
