Franklin cuts ribbon on Bicentennial Park

Leaders in Franklin celebrated the opening of a 14-acre park on the former site of the Georgia Boot Factory, providing residents with recreation opportunities along the Harpeth River. The new park features an open-air pavilion, a public plaza detailing the city's history as a railroad hub, shaded picnic areas, a stage for performances, and space for as many as 5,000 individuals to attend community events. The park is located on Franklin's greenway and provides access to fishing on the Harpeth.
