Friends of Franklin Parks is a not-for-profit organization that was formed to bridge the gap between the services and amenities offered by government funding and those that allow us to take full advantage of the incredible natural and historic resources of our community.
Working closely with the City of Franklin and its Parks Department, the public-private partnership is dedicated to identifying needs that exist within the 18-park system, casting a vision for future enhancements and connecting the dots between existing public open spaces.
