Open Space and Recreation Plan Participation Opportunities

The Town of Franklin is seeking resident feedback on the town's open and recreational spaces as part of the Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) update process. An OSRP allows the town to strategize how to optimize, expand and improve open space and recreational facilities/ offerings by creating annual goals throughout a duration of 7 years. Your feedback will help ensure the goals in the OSRP are reflective of resident priorities for years to come. You can learn more via the Open Space and Recreation Plan project webpage.

Here's how to get involved

Complete the OSRP Citizen Survey by April 16th, 2023. Let us know what you want to see outlined as a priority! Residents may access the survey here. The deadline to submit responses is April 16th, 2023. Hardcopy surveys are available upon request by contacting bgoodlander@franklinma.gov. Attend an OSRP Public Forum.
