Campagnone Common sits on Common Street directly across from Lawrence City Hall and serves as the city's principal park. It has a fenced baseball field with dugouts and spectator seating, plus a playground near Jackson Street with a slide, swings, a jungle gym, and monkey bars. The Robert Frost Fountain offers a quiet spot across from City Hall. The common is named for three local brothers who died in World War II and holds memorials to veterans of several conflicts, including a Civil War monument erected in 1881.
