grass area

Turf-covered ground patch

A grass area is simply a patch of ground covered with grass—a lawn, field, or green space.

The term is functional rather than poetic, appearing in municipal codes, landscape plans, and signage: Please keep dogs off the grass area.

It describes any section of land where grass is the defining feature, whether a backyard lawn or a park's open expanse.
