Franklin Square

Parks, Historic District


Fodor's Review:

This once rundown park -- one of five squares William Penn placed in his original design -- has been transformed into a family-friendly destination. There are two modern playgrounds (for younger and older kids), a carousel, and an 18-hole miniature-golf course, whose holes boast scale models of Independence Hall, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Ben Franklin Bridge, and other local landmarks.
