About the Location

A Green Escape

Situated on Dale Street, Franklin Park stretches across 2.6 acres of precious green space that local residents cherish. This green space has open grassy areas where you can toss a frisbee, play catch, or simply lounge with a good book. On breezy days, the park comes alive with colorful kites dancing in the wind - a simple joy that never seems to get old, especially for families with little ones.

What You'll Find

Kids gravitate toward the playground, where climbing structures provide an excellent outlet for boundless energy. Within the park, gentle walking paths wind their way across the landscape, meant for your morning stroll or an afternoon amble to clear your head.

For the Sports Enthusiasts

Feeling competitive? The park's baseball field awaits your home runs, while the basketball court offers a space to perfect that jump shot. There's also a soccer field where impromptu matches regularly break out on weekends - just bring a ball and see who joins in.

Natural Charm

Though surrounded by urban life, Franklin Park offers a pleasant natural setting. Mature trees cast generous shade during Colorado's sunny days, creating cool spots to relax when the temperature climbs.

Community Hub

Franklin Park functions as a neighborhood gathering spot. The picnic areas and shelter make it easy to enjoy outdoor meals or celebrate small gatherings. The expansive lawns are ideal for walking your four-legged friends - just remember to bring bags for cleanup duty.

Neighborhood Space

Unlike the city's larger parks, Franklin Park keeps things simple and accessible. It's not a tourist destination with flashy attractions, but rather a convenient green space close to home.
