Jimmy Braddock goes to Central Park in March 1935 and walks through a Hooverville in search of his friend Mike Wilson. At the time, it had been gone for almost 2 years. Central Park's Hooverville was located in the drained reservoir, not on the grass as portrayed in the film. When adequate fill was found for the area, the homeless were evicted and the area was transformed into the park's Great Lawn. Landscaping work was completed by April 1933. In 1935, New York's primary Depression Hooverville was on 10th Avenue, near the East River.
