North Lawn, Presidential yard at White House Complex, Washington DC, United States
The North Lawn extends in front of the White House along Pennsylvania Avenue, featuring a semicircular driveway and a central fountain near the North Portico.
The landscape design originated in 1793 with Pierre-Charles L'Enfant's plan, which positioned the President's House to face converging radial avenues centered on the North Lawn.
Television news correspondents regularly broadcast from a designated Pennsylvania fieldstone area on the North Lawn, known informally as Pebble Beach.
The North Lawn functions as the entry point for visiting heads of state and serves as the departure route for public tours through the northeast gate.
The grass consists of tall fescue variety, surrounded by specimen trees including American elm, white oak, red maple, and white saucer magnolia.
