Franklin Park

Franklin Park has always been a very nice park. Especially for children.
They have a great recreation Hut right there on the premises. They have a swimming pool and as of right now are giving swimming lessons. It's just a really good safe beautiful park. Beautiful neighborhood.

This was one of my places of peace during Covid lockdowns. I love that it's a safe, family-friendly park, with great big trees and a nice, green field in the middle area. I come here to do yoga, walk my dog, and meditate.

Well I'm sure you don't want to hear the details at my own experience some thirty-odd years ago LOL. The park is changed and it is a lot better for the kids to play at I bring my granddaughter there. We ride our bikes there maybe twice a week. Stay for about 2 to 3 hours.

Peaceful neighborhood park with restrooms, playground ( across from elementary school), and picnic area. Dogs on leash.

We've loved this park before we moved to Alameda. It's small enough to be able to keep an eye on the kids, but still with ample space to do many activities not including the playground. The bathrooms are reliably clean.

Lovely place for a picnic. There are open restrooms here, along with a nice playground, basketball courts, tables & benches. Nice paved walking pathways. A group of girls were making daisy chains for their hair, folks were walking their dogs.

Great neighborhood park and playground. All the play structures are always functional and well maintained. One of the few remaining playgrounds with the old school metal merry-go-round that can either make you hurl chunks or get clocked in the head and leave a memorable lump. Two sections, one for older kids and one for tots plus a small sand pit. Baby bucket and regular swings complete this gem of a playground, not to mention basketball and tennis courts, plus baseball field and restrooms that are typically clean.

Franklin Park is amazing! There's a few big trees outside of the actual park that are awesome to climb on. The play structures are awesome and fun for all ages. There's a swing set, monkey bars, and a merry go round. There is a separate area for more little kids, and then a bigger play structure for older kids to roughhouse on. There's also a basketball court, tennis court, and baseball court! + an extra field that you can play soccer on, just lay down, or play any other games. Along with all of that there is a separate swimming pool that I think you need some kind of membership to get into? Well besides that, Franklin Park is perfect for meetups, events, or just going to vibe. Come check it out!

Beautiful and peaceful place. The playground itself is not bad, some standout elements like a merry-go-round and a car-shaped bench with steering wheels. Overall a great place for kids, parking is also easy.

This park is nice. The play structure is fun for the kids and there are two different ones for older kids and tots. There's a grassy field to play sports and games. There's a basketball court as well. Nice benches under trees and picnic tables. Water fountain is usually broke so bring water. Bathrooms aren't too bad according to my kid. Lovely flowers around the park. Huge trees next to the park to lay under. Ice cream man usually drives by. You can close the park gates if you have wandering tots. I like this park a lot and so does my kid.

Mix of recreational options for kids and adults, including a playground, basketball hoops, tennis courts, and a softball field. Beautiful redwoods and grassy area complete the scene.

We love Franklin Park! The gorgeous pine trees allow us cool restful spots to sit or nap on the lawn. The sounds of children playing nearby are delightful. Bathrooms are always open and clean. And the location of the park encircled by heritage Alameda family homes is an extra treat.

Nice small playground. Easy place to keep on eye on your kids as it's also gated. Next to the playground is a park with tall trees and lots of shade. Nice area for picnic or stroll. Lovely neighborhood park.

Great park. I feel I can manage watching more than 1 kiddo here. They always ask to return to this park.

Such a wonderful, charming gem in Alameda's Gold Coast hood. Wise, mature trees, beautiful big roots that speak to you if you stop and listen. Dog friendly, kid friendly, water fountain, benches + tables...and a baseball diamond. Enjoy!

One of the best parks in alameda and I grew up running around this park.

Clean well taken care of park. Tennis courts, basketball hoops, picnic tables, shade, merry go round, two play structures, one for tots and one for older kids, sandbox, water fountain and batrooms

Only thing I didn’t like was the fact that I’m African American and I was the only one and when me and my son started having fun the park capacity went from 48 to 2 hell of a ratio in 17 minutes

Beautiful park, I'm an employee of the Maryland National Capital Parks, we have 6 National Gold medals. I found this park to be well cared for, clean and friendly. Well done.

Franklin Park is great for toddlers and older kids. There are also Basketball courts, tennis courts and a small baseball diamond. Good space for picnics and parties as well.
