South Park Gazebo

Located in the heart of beautiful Downtown Lawrence, the rich tradition of South Park is held as Lawrence's premiere meeting place. Separated by Massachusetts Street, the park is divided into two areas with distinct atmospheres.

The east side of South Park is used by many for weddings and special events and features the William Kelly Bandstand, which plays host to concerts in the park including the Lawrence City Band's Summer Concert Series. Trees line the walkways throughout the park and benches offer relaxation and tranquil areas for those visiting. Flower gardens also add to the peaceful atmosphere. The aforementioned Roosevelt Fountain also resides on the east side of the park in the flower gardens near the Bandstand.

Shelters and Gazebos may be reserved from April 15th through October 30th, weather permitting.

Any reservations for Thursday through Sunday must be made no later than noon the previous Wednesday.

There are full-day and half-day rental fees for shelters and two-hour, half-day and full-day rental fees for gazebos. Half-day rentals are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and are $30 (except for the Centennial Park shelter, which is $40). Full-Day rentals are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and are $55 (except for the Centennial Park shelter, which is $75).
