Nestled in Lower Manhattan, Bowling Green has served as a gathering spot for New Yorkers for centuries. The park’s name originates from the game of lawn bowling, a pastime similar to French pétanque or Italian bocce, which was once played here. Today, this small, triangular green space in the heart of the Financial District is most recognized as the site of the iconic Charging Bull sculpture, drawing visitors and locals alike to its historic and symbolic presence.
