Franklinton Parks and Recreation

The Franklinton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was recently created to improve the parks and recreation activities for all ages. Most of the funding for these projects will come via state and federal grants. The board is currently working on constructing a recreation complex that will have baseball and softball complexes, soccer and football fields, walking paths, playgrounds, pavilions and more.
