Hay Fields
​
-
When John Black built Woodlawn, it had many elements of a working farm. The large fields were used for grazing animals including oxen, dairy cows, and horses as well as plantings that were a part of market gardens.

-
Currently, there are mowed walking paths on each of the two remaining open hay fields. These paths are nearly 0.5 miles each. There are also eight Bluebird boxes which are registered with Downeast Audubon and are part of the Bluebird Trail (downeastaudubon.org)​​​

Two granite pillars at the top of the front (East) field mark what used to be a driveway that came up straight from the Surry Road.

The front field was voted by Downeast Magazine as one of the most popular places in Hancock County for sledding in the winter. And it has been used as a sledding hill for nearly 100 years.

The South Field was converted to a level playing field for tent space as well as program activities in 2006 at the same time the croquet court was established.
