Sheep Meadow, Central Park
About This Location
Sheep Meadow, the vast 15-acre lawn in the southwestern section of Central Park, appeared in Gossip Girl as the setting for sun-soaked picnic scenes and casual outdoor gatherings. This expansive green space, which historically served as grazing land for a flock of sheep, offered a relaxed, democratic feel where characters from both the Upper East Side and Brooklyn could unwind. The meadow's unobstructed views of the Midtown skyline, particularly the buildings along Central Park South, provided a stunning cinematic backdrop.
