dbo:abstract
  • El Sheep Meadow (el prat dels xais) és un dels espais de Central Park a New York. El seu nom va estar justificat fins a 1934, darrer any en què va ser utilitzat com a pasturatge. Actualment, es tracta d'una gespa prestant-se molt bé a l'ociositat i als banys de sol: els novaiorquesos l'utilitzen com una platja. (ca)
  • The Sheep Meadow (le pré au mouton) est un des espaces de Central Park à New York. Son nom était justifié jusqu'en 1932, dernière année où il a été utilisé comme pâturage. Actuellement, il s'agit d'une pelouse se prêtant très bien au farniente et aux bains de soleil : les New-Yorkais l'utilisent comme une plage. (fr)
  • Sheep Meadow is a 15-acre (61,000 m2) meadow near the southwestern section of Central Park, between West 66th and 69th Streets in Manhattan, New York City. It is adjacent to Central Park Mall to the east, The Ramble and Lake to the north, West Drive to the west, and Heckscher Playground and Ballfields to the south. Sheep Meadow was originally designed as a parade ground and incorporated into the Greensward Plan, the original plan for Central Park developed in the 1850s. However, Central Park's designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux opposed the use of the meadow for military purposes, so it was instead converted to a pasture with sheep. Housed in a nearby sheepfold that now contains the Tavern on the Green restaurant, the sheep were removed in 1934. Sheep Meadow has a long history as a gathering place for large-scale demonstrations and political movements. These have included festivals, rallies, concerts, and protests such as the be-ins of the 1960s. Though sports and gatherings were gradually allowed through the late 19th century, Sheep Meadow saw significant deterioration because of overuse. A regulation prohibiting sports was enacted following a 1980 renovation, and the meadow was restored again in 2000. (en)
