Franklin Park is the Wrong Location for these Important Needs Franklin Park, a 527- acre gem of the Emerald Necklace, was designed in 1895 by Frederick Law Olmsted, and has since become a key open space for neighboring communities, providing a gathering space for events, as well as a welcome respite from city life.
