Fantastic, recently recovered park space. There's a subway stop in the park that will eventually reopen, and the park features a memorial to fallen police , firefighters, detectives, etc.

Not only one of the city ’s oldest squares, but a great family destination as well , Franklin Square will entertain your little ones with a game of mini-golf or a ride on Center City ’s only carousel .

Square Burger at Franklin Square is a great place to go for lunch on a nice day. They make the best burgers & dogs and you can eat at the tables and chairs surrounding the fountain and enjoy the sun

Awesome little park with a carousel . I went while there was some kind of summer event going on so there was an area to drink and play games. It was laid back and fun.

Great time bringing my kid here. We had just dropped mom off and was looking for a place to relax . Lots of other kids to play with.

Near 6th&Race is this awesome new park untouched from the center city madness. Going at night is great because you don't have to rush through mini golf .
