The Franklin Parks Department is committed to providing safe and welcoming opportunities for recreation, education, and relaxation. Our parks, including ball fields and park play areas, are busy hubs of activity in all seasons of the year, serving thousands of residents and visitors. One measure of how well we take care of existing resources is the cleanliness of the facilities. Please report unsightly conditions, vandalism or misuse of our parks directly to the parks dept. We appreciate your partnership in being good stewards of the parks.

Events in the Park

Movies by Moonlight, Concerts in the Park, Family Day and Arbor Day are just a few of the many Special Events hosted by the Parks Department throughout the year in various parks. Local organizations wishing to hold an event in the park system should submit their request 90 days prior to the date of the event. If you anticipate your event would draw a crowd of 200 or more (including the event participants/coordinators) contact Monique McCullough, Community Relations Manager for the City of Franklin, at (615) 791-3217. Anna Shuford, Program Coordinator for the City Parks Department, can be reached at (615) 794-2103 for any event drawing a crowd less than 200.
