The department is also responsible for scheduling the use of all school athletic fields. Our department works closely with the various town youth sports organizations and Athletic Director Tom Angelo to schedule all youth sports activities around the high school team practices and games.
Chilson Beach
Chilson Beach was open from June 24-August 18, 2017 with a swim at your own risk policy. No lifeguards were on duty. However, we staffed the beach with gate guards to check for residency as the beach remains Franklin residents only. The pond was home to canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and hiking. For information on Chilson Beach and our water testing results, please visit:

On the turf field at Beaver Pond, we continue to permit soccer, field hockey, flag football, Pop Warner football and boy’s lacrosse. The turf field was used for the Franklin Recreation Department’s NFL Flag football, Franklin Pop Warner football, Franklin Youth Soccer, and Franklin youth boys lacrosse, as well as yoga for senior citizens, tai chi, boot camp, and many other recreational activities. A portable recycled plastic walkway is on site for handicap accessibility to the water edge and playground area.
The Franklin High School soccer, lacrosse and field hockey programs play all of their home games on the turf field as well. At the time of this publication, the turf field was being resurfaced.
