The North Meadow, with its 16-acres of
lawn and twelve official ballfields, is the
largest and most spectacular open space
in Central Park.
There are seven baseball and five softball fields. In the autumn these fields are
converted into six fields for soccer or
touch football.
With its gently sloping inclines onlookers
can enjoy the game from a restful spot
nearby. Unique to the North Meadow
are the numerous bedrock outcroppings
making for the perfect lookout points at
various spots in this expansive space.
