The birthday parties usually start with the indoor play area and expanding the 3 floors with a plethora of toys and entertainment! Then headed outside with tons of free space and multiple playgrounds (for some reason we always end up at the potato sack slide for a million rounds lol). It's an amazing space for no charge (with donation opportunities at times). As with any outdoor space, after dusk the mosquitos feast!

God gave me and my husband three beautiful daughters and today after going to Ikea, we've decided to find a playground nearby and explore the area a bit (moved here not too long ago) It was not easy to find the parking but finally we did. The weather was beautiful, I put the little one in the stroller and we walked towards this playground. Don't know why, it really doesn't seem like some special place BUT to me it really felt magical. Quite place, parents sitting on benches, kids running around, sun peacefully shining on all of us. It was like a sweet memory from the playground my dad used to take me. We absolutely enjoyed our 30 minutes of swings and slides. The place has a great atmosphere. You should check it out. Maybe you'll feel something sweet too. ;)

If that makes sense? Like, possibly, people who come here know one another and live nearby. I prefer somewhat larger parks (we love Weccacoe park) so that eyes aren't all on me; while i make strange, silly sounds pushing my toddler on the swing. Meh, thats just me.

Stopped at Franklin Square during a Big Bus city holiday lights tour to see the PECO Light Show, a…read morelight show synchronized to seasonal music throughout the entire area. The park's carousel is illuminated with festive lights, and seemed to be a hit with the families present. Seasonal treats and warm beverages were available at the on-site SquareBurger, priced as one would expect at a tourist location like this. While the festive decorations and activities are lovely, the park was quite crowded, while we were there. Also, the bathroom trailer was absolutely disgusting, despite a small team of custodial employees on site, so plan on holding it while you're there if you can! All in all, Franklin Square was a pleasant diversion, I wouldn't make a special trip to visit.

It's a great spot for sight seeing, people watching, and getting your biking or running on. Also, a lot of people do not know that the Markward Rec center is right on the playground. They have an after school program that picks up the children from Independence Charter School and Green Field elementary School for only $25 bucks a week. Ms Monica and Ms Kendell are amazing with the kids. They also have high school students help out the children with homework and arts and craft! I'm so blessed to have found such a great place and not kill my pockets. On top of that...Markward also have a day camp for the children during the summer. It's 100 bucks a week but they go swimming 2x a day (there is a pool 2 blocks away), go on field trips, and arts and craft. it's a huge plus that the playground is right there in the same vicinity. It you haven't been...you definitely need to check this place out for yourself!

It has nice bridges, slides and labyrinths for various ages. We liked the swings too. There's a dedicated 2-5 yrs play area. It's surrounded by fence for kids safety. CONS: The visual appeal is not well maintained. Paint is faded and chipping away. Many tiles cracked or missing. Sand boxes are nearly empty. Playground needs some face lift.
