1.   Just a few years ago, Lincoln Terrace Park, a green expanse in Brooklyn, was overrun with weeds, prostitutes and drug dealers.

2.   The school sits off Cabot Common, a green expanse punctuated with a lone granite monument in honor of fallen Civil War soldiers.

3.   The source of all that noise is a fountain set in the green expanse in front of the garden entrance.

4.   They gazed out over the green expanse and chatted quietly.

5.   Walking east through a crooked line of medieval alleys, I entered the sudden green expanse of the Stadtpark.

6.   We slipped out of the harbor, with the green expanse of Samos on one side and the rich, rocky landscape of Turkey on the other.

7.   From here you can see a green expanse of plants covering the foot of Merapi.
