Design the Future of Franklin Park

The City of Allentown is developing design plans for improvements to Franklin Park. Community input will help guide the project as we work to create a more welcoming and greener public park.

The City is currently in the process of developing full design and construction documents for Franklin Park, and we want your input.

Working alongside our consultant, Simone Collins, and community partners including Ripple Church, Cohesion, Community Bike Works, and the Leonard Parker Pool Institute of Health, our goal is to create a greener, more welcoming park that reflects the needs of the people who use it.

What would you like to see in Franklin Park? More green space? An improved playground? A pavilion or gathering area? This is your opportunity to share ideas and help shape the park’s future.
