Bryant Park

girl reading, sketched 6/24/08

Bryant Park contains six flower beds planted seasonally with 100 species of woody shrubs and herbaceous perennials and 20,000 bulbs and twin promenades bordered by London plane trees (Platanus acerifolia) which can grow up to 120 feet in height. The Lawn is planted with a rye/fescue/bluegrass and is as long as a football field (300 feet) and 215 feet wide.

This is my favorite lawn in all of New York. You don't need a blanket or anything, you just walk out into the wide green sea, kick off your shoes and jump in.
