7. Q 2. Sheep Meadow is a 15-acre meadow near the southwestern

parade ground and incorporated into the Greensward Plan, the
original plan for Central Park developed in the 1850s. However,

trade. It offered incentives to investors who would bankroll the
voyages. Financiers required a safe and regulated place for these
