To find the remaining grassy area of the park, we will first calculate the area of the rectangular park and then subtract the area of the triangular flower bed.
1. **Calculate the area of the rectangular park:**
\[
\text{Area of park} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 50 \, \text{m} \times 40 \, \text{m} = 2000 \, \text{m}^2
\]
2. **Calculate the area of the triangular flower bed:**
\[
\text{Area of triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \, \text{m} \times 15 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{2} \times 300 \, \text{m}^2 = 150 \, \text{m}^2
\]
3. **Calculate the remaining grassy area of the park:**
\[
\text{Remaining grassy area} = \text{Area of park} - \text{Area of triangle} = 2000 \, \text{m}^2 - 150 \, \text{m}^2 = 1850 \, \text{m}^2
\]
Thus, the remaining grassy area of the park is **1,850 m²**.

\[
\text{Area of park} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 50 \, \text{m} \times 40 \, \text{m} = 2000 \, \text{m}^2
\]

\]
3. **Calculate the remaining grassy area of the park:**
\[
\text{Remaining grassy area} = \text{Area of park} - \text{Area of triangle} = 2000 \, \text{m}^2 - 150 \, \text{m}^2 = 1850 \, \text{m}^2
\]
Thus, the remaining grassy area of the park is **1,850 m²**.
