The lawn between the University Commons and the John C. Pace Library gets its name from the cannon at its northeast end. UWF student Robert Annin retrieved the cannon, now called Annin's Cannon, from the Pensacola Pass. It is an 18th-century, British, 32-pound garrison gun thought to have been part of a battery that guarded the entrance to Pensacola Bay. This grass-covered lawn is the perfect, blank slate for large, outdoor events and celebrations.
