The story

An outdoor space in Central Park. Reviewers like being outdoors here, describe a high-energy crowd, and mention coming in small groups.

“One of Central Park's most well-known and important landscapes, Sheep Meadow is the utmost expression of the Park's essential purpose as a retreat from urban life. This 15-acre lawn is one of the most popular destinations in the south end of the Park and ideal for relaxing, sunbathing, reading, and picnicking, as well as marveling at the contrast between the verdant Park and the towering skyline of Manhattan.”
