Need a recommendation for a pasture grass

I've recently moved into a house that includes a two acre pasture in the back. When we moved in, there were overgrown weeds and various brush. The brush made it almost impossible to even walk back there, let alone enjoy it with my family and pets.

I'd like some suggestions for what I can plant back there that will require little maintenance, but still allow us to walk around and enjoy the space. I hope to one day plant several dozen trees in this space to create my own little arboretum, but that will probably be a few summers down the road.

Aside from that, I have no real restrictions on it. I already have plenty of mowing with our main lawn, so I definitely would like to avoid something that would require weekly mowing or maintenance. Ideally, I'd like something I mow maybe once a month at most and mow a little path through it regularly for us to walk along.

Thanks for your help!
