The Campo Grande is a large public park in the city of Valladolid.

It is triangular in shape and one of its sides makes three cracks; It has an area of 115,000 square meters.

The total of the area considered as Campo Grande does not only include the extensive gardens surrounded by a fence but also the three walks or rooms parallel to the Acera de Recoletos. The one in the center is known as Paseo Central del Campo Grande.

The main access to the gardens is in Plaza de Zorrilla, through a modern gate.

Its origin as a park or as a landscaped area dates back to 1787, although since the 15th century it must be considered as an urban space of great importance.

One notable aspect of the park is the abundant poultry population. Spread over its surface is a pheasant, an aviary and a dovecote, which make peacocks, pheasants and pigeons very numerous (in addition to turtledoves, dwarf chickens, parakeets and cockatoos) and have become the true inhabitants of the park .

It has a great variety of trees that constitute a true botanical garden.

In some moments of its history it was called Campo de la Verdad and later Campo de Marte, but finally the name Campo Grande was consolidated.

It was from the earliest times a council space, an ejido of communal agricultural and livestock soils for grazing animals and a place of threshing floors. It could also be a typical resting place, taking into account the Cañada Real range of the current Paseo de Zorrilla.

The Puerta del Campo housed for a time the gallows where those convicted of both the Inquisition and the ordinary and military justice were executed. In 1506, the gallows was placed near the entrance. According to Juan Agapito y Revilla, the field was known by the name of the "bonfire" or the "brazier", for this reason.
