The Recreation Department is a service-based department.

We are a self supporting department, replying on our program fees to cover our expenses. We work interactively with local sports organizations, Franklin public school department, individual Town residents, private groups, as well as other Town departments. In the course of a given year, over 8,000 people are affected by Recreation operations. Our clientele continues to increase each year. Recreation is responsible for scheduling all fields, playgrounds, and courts. The Recreation Department continues to serve the residents in the area of recreation and leisure services.

• Coordinate recreational activities with the youth sports organizations, school department, non profit organizations and other citizens groups.
• Better utilization of park land and coordination of fields, and conservation land within the Town of Franklin.
• Improve the quality of life and involve residents in recreational programs.
• Establish new programs as self-supporting and explore ways of generating additional revenue through grants, donations and fundraising.
• Recreation activities are coordinated through our office, which is comprised of one full time director, one full time program coordinators and one part time clerical staff person.
