Work began in 1888, and in 1893 he suggested keeping a flock of sheep on its west side to evoke a pastoral mood and to keep the grass mowed. Flocks of sheep weren't uncommon at the time; the Sheep Field in Olmsted's central park started the trend in 1863, but the also were grazed in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Franklin Park in Boston, Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, and Washington Park in Chicago. The sheep didn't remain for long, however, because in 1899 the pasture was converted into a golf course that still is in operation today alongside the Genesee River.
