Top 5 Stonehill wiffleball fields

One of the best summer activities has to be wiffleball. Grab a dozen people, find some grass, and take part in America's pastime. It's just a fantastic, leisure activity where everyone can have a good time. During the beginning of my second summer at Stonehill, I've been around campus to discover the best wiffleball fields. Here are the top five:

5. Alumni Park. The picture here doesn't do it justice, but one look at the giant, grassy area between Alumni and Donahue will be all it takes to want to run around and play some sports. The picnic benches would be awesome to have food lying around in between innings or something, and the amount of space available might just make it kickball-worthy.

4. Donahue Field. Moving closer to the center of campus is Donahue Field, located at the bottom of Donahue Hill. The hill might cause some problems in the outfield, but to be able to play wiffleball on one of the most passed-by locations on campus has to attract some people walking around. Donahue Field could just be another tradition that Stonehill students have with the hill, much like sledding.

3. Quad Field #2. Quad Field #2 is right in front of Duffy, adjacent to its counterpart closer to the Duffy benches, Quad Field #1. QF2 has some nice trees for shade, and is certainly a lot flatter than QF1 is. The general theme so far has been moving closer and closer to the middle of campus, but this next one will certainly break the pattern.

2. Science Center Stadium. By far, Science Center Stadium is the most beautiful of the fields. Nicest and greenest grass, good amount of shade (depending on time of day) from the Science Center, and it has a natural layout, hitting away from the Atrium. It would have been an easy choice from the top spot on the list, if not for the original wiffleball field that my friends and I played on.

1. O'Hara Park. I have to give the top spot to O'Hara, where my friends and I first started playing wiffleball freshman year. Hitting towards the stone wall separating the O'Hara quad and the area by the pond, it's a great field to play at, to hang out at, and is certainly the best draw for anybody wanting to play wiffleball on campus.
