Grassy field with raised bumps in a sinusoidal pattern.
Fun field, but be careful not to break your ankle when you’re running around on it. You should check it out once if you’re in AA for school.

The wave field is a wonderful outdoor «sculpture» — really an earthworks — designed by architect Maya Lin. There are eight rows of grassy dips and crests, each three feet high, undulating in a tempting, verdant pattern.
It’s a great spot for a picnic, for goofing around with kids, or for contemplating the lot of the sorry landscaper stuck with mowing the thing. On one level, it’s just hills and grass – but it’s so cool to look at. One of these days I’m going to break my ankle trying to play frisbee in there, but it will be worth it. It’s a favorite picnic spot for my family, and it always brings out the silly in us.
It’s tucked in behind the FXB building, near the intersection of Beal and Hayward. Worth checking out, but you have to look for it – you’re not going to see it from the road.
