Marston Campbell Park is located at 17th St. and West St. in West Oakland adjacent to Lafayette Elementary School. It has a large field, a playground, and a youth-led community garden, and provides a nice place for the children of Lafayette Elementary to play.
It was named for Marston Campbell (1867 - 1933). The son of educator Frederick Campbell, Marston was a civil engineer, president of EBMUD, and held various positions in the city including president of the city Parks Board. He was born in Oakland, but he lived and worked in Hawai'i from 1899 to 1919.
