The area of the park is $190 \mathrm{m} \times 240 \mathrm{m} = 45,600 \mathrm{~m}^2$. The area of the sand pit is $22 \mathrm{m} \times 22 \mathrm{m} = 484 \mathrm{~m}^2$. Subtracting the area of the sand pit from the area of the park gives $45,600 \mathrm{~m}^2 - 484 \mathrm{~m}^2 = 45,116 \mathrm{~m}^2$ of grassy area.
