We love Franklin Park! The gorgeous pine trees allow us cool restful spots to sit or nap on the lawn. The sounds of children playing nearby are delightful. Bathrooms are always open and clean. And the location of the park encircled by heritage Alameda family homes is an extra treat.
Nice park in Alameda. Two tennis courts and lots of space for social distancing.
Plenty of parking during non-school pick up times. Beautiful trees everywhere and lots of areas to okay for both little ones and big kids.
Such a wonderful, charming gem in Alamedas Gold Coast hood. Wise, mature trees, beautiful big roots that speak to you if you stop and listen. Dog friendly, kid friendly, water fountain, benches + tables...and a baseball diamond. Enjoy!
Wonderful and family welcoming
Well I take my granddaughter here after school. This park has been here since I moved here back in 1978. I used to hang out here when I was in my teens. its changed a little but it is still a very nice park. Michael
Small, quaint, neighborhood green park with soft shady lawn. Perfect to walk my little doggy.
A nice little park close to home where there is never negative activity.
Located in a suburb, the park is small but has adequate facilities to pull off a BBQ, kids play area and some tennis if you like
Its where Ive went after school and it has a wonderful baseball field with, a basketball court, playground for toddlers and one for the older kids, tohey also have a nice track to run on
Because its summertime the park is extremely busy. If you have kids and, or grand kids this is a wonderful place to hang out. It has nice shade tree areas and a lot of activities. You can bring your on picnic items and spend time with love ones for the fun of it!
Franklin Park is great for toddlers and older kids. There are also Basketball courts, tennis courts and a small baseball diamond. Good space for picnics and parties as well.
Clean park with a gate that goes almost all the way around the playground. Big trees ring the playground that gives some nice shade.
A simple but yet beatiful place for a picnic or just to relax or take your Children
Great tennis courts, lovely pool, and beautiful scenery. Everything you could ask for!
Franklin park offers a variety of activities in a safe fenced in park for children.
This park is nice. The play structure is fun for the kids and there are two different ones for older kids and tots. Theres a grassy field to play sports and games. Theres a basketball court as well. Nice benches under trees and picnic tables. Water fountain is usually broke so bring water. Bathrooms arent too bad according to my kid. Lovely flowers around the park. Huge trees next to the park to lay under. Ice cream man usually drives by. You can close the park gates if you have wandering tots. I like this park a lot and so does my kid.
Lots to do and close to other restaurants or cafes like jays
Great family oriented park in a great city and neighborhood
Nice park with playground equipment for all ages of children. Shady areas.
Nice place for kids. Easy to see right off of San Antonio Avenue. Servicing Alameda and the adjoining areas. Small and quaint. Parking on the street is available but it fills up fast. There is a bathroom. We will definitely be going back. Good for groups.
Great neighborhood park and playground. All the play structures are always functional and well maintained. One of the few remaining playgrounds with the old school metal merry-go-round that can either make you hurl chunks or get clocked in the head and leave a memorable lump. Two sections, one for older kids and one for tots plus a small sand pit. Baby bucket and regular swings complete this gem of a playground, not to mention be basketball and tennis courts, plus baseball field.
Good place, clean
Nice park and activity center for kids plus a pool, theres a tiny grocery store and foodie shops around the corner great for having a picnic under the redwoods.
Super quiet place, great playground for kids
One of Alamedas treasures. A beautiful little park thats always fun for the kids.
Great place for little kids and parents!
This is my favorite park in Alameda. The Merry go round and swings are a lot of fun. There is a field for soccer, football and baseball. Roses in the spring. Can always find shade on hot days or sun on cold days.
Clean, safe playground equipment, lots of shade, could use more tables.
Great park with a smaller kids section with swing

Cute park in scenic Victorian homes
Road side parking. Clean play area. Clean washrooms. Benches under the shady trees is the Bonus.
Any day the week you are welcome
You like homeless dudes, young wanna be gangsters and high school students sitting in your park all day, throwing litter around like its a new fad?All this and your baby running around trying to have day fun.Its blatant, its ugly its Franklin in broad daylight.Nada.
Great park. Toddler friendly. Clean and well maintained.
Franklin Park is small but great for preschool-elementary aged kids. There are two separate play structures, swings, small baseball field, tennis courts, basketball court and small sandbox area. On a sunny day in the middle of the week youll find lots of moms there with their kids and after school ARPD usually runs activities for the local kids. Most of the park has a good amount of shade and the picnic tables are completely in the shade on the backside of the park. Tip: Dont forget to shut the gate on the way in/out so the kids dont run out onto the street.
Franklin park is our go-to. It’s a perfect location in town and so fun for my toddler.

Nice park in a good neighborhood of a low crime city, surrounded by historic homes and across the street from a private school.The park has a lot for its size, including a swim center, picnic tables, many trees, a basketball court and playground.
Great playground, plus an old school merry go round.
Probably the most popular playground for young kids in alameda. Son just loves it.
Great park...well I mean its a park what do want from it.
Great neighborhood park to bring the kids to and everyone is friendly as opposed to clickish as at some parks. After awhile, you get to know the regulars and life is good.
