Meredith College is a private women's college located at 3800 Hillsborough Street. The college campus features an outdoor amphitheater by a small pond. The amphitheater has been used for a number of theatrical and musical performances over the years.  The field next to the pond used to be one of the largest open fields in town, popular in the spring time for kite flying. You could throw an Aerobie^® and watch it sail for a couple hundred yards without any interference from a tree. At one time (late 1980s) it hosted an annual Labor Day celebration that included hot air balloons, arts , dancing, and a performance by the NC Symphony.  The field now houses a soccer and track field for the college.
