From the reviews

Wade Oval Wednesdays during the summer months is the place to be in Cleveland. Amazing musical guests and various food trucks on Wednesday evenings.

The Wade Oval is the center of the museum area in Cleveland. It's a large grass area with a giant tree in the middle. The surrounding pedestrian walk way encircling the oval was quite popular with the hospital staff that was picking up some steps during their break.
