I'd like to thank everyone who replied. While there were some suggestions,  
it seems nobody else is worrying about these, so I guess with no  
established convention I'll go with waterway=drain;area=yes.  
waterway=drain because I've seen many of these sites with signs marked  
"drainage area". area=yes is required because the wiki page for drain:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddrain

only lists way elements for it.

John mentioned surface=grass. I've never seen one of these with grass.  
More like surface=ground/dirt/sand/gravel/compacted.
