Best park in Franklin. Has got most of the facilities and amenities that a local park should have. Swings, skate, TT, Cricket, football, gym etc.. Only problem there is that they have the BBQ space there and some of the people leave the place in a mess after partying. I really wish people to be sensible about the environment and cleanliness of the place as it’s not for one time use. Other than that it’s a fantastic place

Franklin Recreational Park is a fantastic facility for all families. There's plenty to do for little kids as well as the older kids.

There are plenty of playground equipment to keep kids entertained for hours. When not on the swings and the climbing equipment they can be playing basketball or riding their scooters in the skate bowl. They're also cricket nets to keep and wide spaces to throw the football around.

Go early if you want to picnic as the picnic tables fill up very quickly especially on public holidays.

Only really used the skatepark part but seems very comprehensive on different parts of play areas even has a toilets. Presented well as it was clean and not vandalised with broken equipment.

Great space, heaps of things to do! Playgroup on a Thursday is a great free event, highly recommend.

Great park with lots of choice for kids on playground and for the sporty kids fields to play soccer and basketball

This place is amazing. It's got a basketball court, two ping pong tables, a full set of gym equipment, a barbecue stove. It's got everything to spend a fun time with your loved ones.

Something for everyone. Small kids will like the climbing web, swings and slide. Bigger kids will like the skate park, cricket nets and soccer/basketball court. Gym kids will like the outdoor gym equipment. There are BBQs, toilets and plenty of shade areas and parking.

Good park..better than belconnen parks would be nice i f the local government opened more parks like this around. we came before school pick up and there was just one other family there with there toddle. easy to get a park and close by. would image this place would be busier around school pick up drop off as the school is just here

Really nice park, has lots to offer and is in a nice location.

Fantastic park with so many different things to do. There are a lot of exercise machines, cricket nets, soccer area, skating slides..... Too many to count. Kids of all ages can be kept busy here for a while. Plus there is a place to bbq as well. All in all one of the best parks in Canberra that I have seen till date.

Beautiful peaceful Park with a lovely outlook

Great play area for toddlers and kids. Take ur chances as to when the ACT Government has mowed. Soccer Cricket Basketball

Great playground, play equipment for toddlers to oldies.
But the address on Google isn't right! Better street to go to for access is Kilmeny Close.

I feel lucky enough to live just next to this park. There is so much to do from BBQ, Tennis, Basketball, Cricket, Exercise, Cycling, Running, Walking, Dog Walking and many more. It is one of the best parks in Canberra.

Lovely park of substantial size with plenty of options for the kids. Great place to let them loose.

A marvellous park for activities. I regularly see wonderful people which brings a sense of a community spirit!

A very nice and quaint park with playground, fitness corner, mini skate park, BBQ area, basketball and street soccer court, toilets and ample parking available. A treat for families.

All age groups can enjoy. Basketball, soccer, and 2 cricket nets are very useful

My children have been coming here ever since it was built it's great for little kids too also great for get togethers with friends.
