LAKE WABAN
One of the most tranquil spots on the Wellesley campus, Lake Waban offers limitless opportunities for recreation, sports, or simple contemplation. Students can always be found training for intramural crew regattas, floating around the lake in a college canoe, and studying (or sleeping) on Green Beach. Each fall all of the Wellesley residence halls compete in crew races on Lake Waban to see which is the fastest.

SEVERANCE GREEN
This beautiful expanse of grass and tree-lined walkway walkways of on Severance Green is the scene for many recreational activities on campus: a spontaneous game of frisbee or pickup soccer, campus-wide picnic lunches, outdoor movies, live music, Spring Weekend festivities, and, when there's snow, sledding down the hill on dining hall trays, also known as "traying."
