campus lawn

University grass area

The grassy open spaces on a college or university campus, typically bordered by academic buildings and crisscrossed by walkways.

Campus lawns serve as gathering places for students—sites for studying, socializing, sunbathing, and protest: Students sprawled on the campus lawn between classes.

The term evokes a particular collegiate atmosphere of tree-lined quads and frisbee games.
