bowling green

Manicured bocce surface

A bowling green is a flat, closely mowed lawn used for lawn bowling—a game where players roll balls toward a target.

The grass is kept short and level to allow smooth rolling.

The term appears in many place names, including Bowling Green in Manhattan and the city in Kentucky.
