This green 55-acre area is the geographical center of Central Park — and one of the most famous lawns in the world. A temporary shantytown appeared during the Depression after the old Croton Reservoir was drained and prior to the construction of the Great Lawn in 1934.

It is known for contemporary softball fields.
