Franklin has a number of beautiful and peaceful public parks. Fort Granger Park is a 14.5-acre park with a secluded walking trail that overlooks the south part of Franklin. Civil War-era trenches surround the park’s perimeter. At Assault on the Cotton Gin Historic Park, visitors can view a small monument erected to commemorate this important event from the Battle of Franklin.

The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is one of the largest parks in Franklin. The farm is renowned for having once being home to Midnight Sun, a prized Tennessee Walking Horse whose fame is unparalleled in Tennessee history. There is also a three-acre pond and a walking/jogging track at Harlinsdale Farm. Aspen Grove, the last of Franklin's main parks, has a paved trail that winds alongside Spencer Creek. There is a small playground there for children.
