Confirmed from Campagnone Common's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Grassy, family-friendly gathering spot featuring outdoor tables, a fountain, swings and walking paths.
What runners say about Campagnone Common
“But what I don’t like is that the city of Lawrence cut down a whole bunch of trees in the park And never replanted so there isn’t much shade in the middle of the park.”
I love this town common! Lately they have been planting trees. There are lots of statues, a fountain, benches, paths, events, playground.
CAMPAGNONE COMMON -A Public Park- is 17.5 acres of open space, in the heart of the city. The main entrance, on Common Street features THE ROBERT FROST FOUNTAIN. The COMMON has trees, grass, flowers, walking paths, benches, water fountains, a modern playground, fixed seating and tables for playing dominoes and other…
Nice park to walk through. It is clean and there are monuments to view. There is a playground on one side of the common, and a nice ball field towards the middle of the common. Typically a good amount of people use this space on a regular basis.
Very relaxing plenty of shade, benches, and access to water fountains but no public restroom unless city hall is open.
