Roxbury · Directions

Franklin Park brings woods, miles of trails, playing fields, Scarboro Pond, historic landscape features, multiple playgrounds, golf, and major cultural destinations into Boston's largest open space.

Trail surfaces and grades vary, and current work affects crossings, drainage, natural areas, and facilities. The zoo, golf course, stadium, events, and reservations all operate separately from the general park.
