Splash pads in Lawrence, Massachusetts

Campagnone Common is the Lawrence downtown anchor and the spray feature is the city's free summer cool-down for families. The Common itself is historic (Civil War monument, gazebo, the works), and the spray sits on the south side near the playground. Lawrence Parks runs it from late June through Labor Day, daytime only, weather permitting. It is genuinely free, walkable from City Hall and the library, and there are food trucks and fritters from nearby Dominican spots within blocks. Restrooms can be hit-or-miss, so plan a stop. Street parking, easy access from I-495 exit 45.
