Welcome!

Franklin Park, created by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1880s as the "jewel" of Boston's Emerald Necklace, is home to a 200 acre forest. It boasts an 18-hole public golf course, tennis courts, baseball fields, a premier cross country course, old stone ruins, and New England's largest Zoo. Come spend the day! You can lunch at the golf clubhouse, watch a Sunday afternoon cricket game, and walk the 2.5 mile loop path through woods, over old stone bridges, and past a picturesque pond.You'll find everything from a calendar of free park activities to historic photos on this website.

We want park community members to help care for the park's special places and have a voice in decisions that impact the park. Most of all, we want Franklin Park to get the attention and resources that this historic landmark and vital community resource deserves!
