Terrace steps and walkway. Look on Pinterest and type in Terraced Yards.
What about a ground cover ?
I would consider cutting in steps for your path, which should not go straight down but angle/curve. if you want to have some level spots, say for a table and chairs, etc, you could put in some stackable blocks like these:

then fill behind them to create a small terrace within your fenced area.
I have a small corner in my backyard. I pulled all the weeds and am going to make a bird sanctuary; it is uneven as well, but I am going to put dead tree branches to hang bird feeders and such on it. It might work for your area as well.
