Franklin Recreational Park

Pretty good, lots of little sections, visitors seem nice (no trouble makers). Perhaps a tad close to a busy road but not a problem if you watch your kids.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Nice place for a family picnic. Some really nice play areas for kids.

Needs a bit of work a has developed a lot of pot holes.

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

Clean and there are a variety of play sections that all ages can enjoy. The kids love it there.

Very popular park with good sporting facilities like cricket and skate bowl. BBQ facilities and toilets also.

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.

The park has great facilities and there were numerous young families using the park. The only downside is the length of the grass which is not a great surface due to the grass badly needing to be cut.

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.

Good park with range of activities for different ages. There is a shaded area and also cricket nets alongside for older kids.

Not bad, but the kids playground is lacking. Something to climb on, but it doesn't really catch their interest

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.

Best for all aged people and especially for Childers.for exercise and playing and for spend quality time with friends or family on weekends.

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.
