Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts consists of rolling hills and gently sloping areas that lead to level flood plains and stream valley. Outside the developed areas and the meadow, the park is predominantly wooded. The park also encompasses a pond, parts of two streams, floodplains, meadowland, upland hardwood forest, landscaped cultural areas and impervious paved surfaces.
