One of the five original open-space parks planned by William Penn, Franklin Square is a modern, fun park with an array of attractions and amenities, including a large playground and a carousel, a beautifully restored marble fountain, and a Philly-themed miniature golf course.

The park was designed by William Penn when he laid out the city in 1682 and is sandwiched between North 6th and 7th Streets, Race Street and the Vine Street Expressway and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Open year-round to the public, Franklin Square is also home to SquareBurger and Cake Shake, which serves burgers, fries and sweet treats.
