Province Park — Attraction in Franklin

Great wooded city park downtown Franklin! It is along the Greenway trail, short walk from the pool, library, and downtown restaurants. Really in a convenient location. Lots of room to run and play with two playgrounds. A fenced in one and a bigger kid area on the other side of the creek. It's beautiful and shaded so it can provide relief on a hot day.

We love to park along the trail and walk here to play for a bit or just drive directly to the park for a picnic. If having a picnic or fun playdate, consider taking a short walk to the Hoosier Cupboard for a scoop of ice cream (located along the railroad tracks on Jefferson). We've had a lot of fun here with our kids over the years and I remember playing here when I was a kid.

We've had our family pictures taken here 3 years now as well. There are so many places around the park for good photo opportunities.

I had to pretty much helicopter the kids the entire time because the creek is so interesting and cute that's all they wanted to do was try and jump in. Overall gorgeous park but the running waters throughout are extremely accessible to kids and pets so be prepared...

This place has a creek that runs through it , a playground for the little ones & shelter houses for families that have birthday parties, family reunions,& picnic BBQs. It has bathrooms at each shelter house. It has a recreation center that has lots of summer events for the kids . Walk, run, exercise & shower. They do charge a fee for some things, like the dog park they do have, but it's like $40 for the year, and they have to be updated on shots and have to have pet tags. They also have a Skateboard park with ramps.They have a nice swimming pool with lifeguards on duty. It has very beautiful flowers & plants throughout the summer. Plus it is a very nice place to take...
