Great place for a walk or run. The playground is great and has plenty of things for kids to do, and the field is perfect for sports or flying a kite. The Rose Garden is a really great backdrop for pictures.

Is the park still open? If they are not you should change the posted open signs. I visited the park today while my child was on the swing and park personal drove up to me and said the park was closed for the season?

I was there just last week, they did have both entrances closed but they were also doing construction work on the entrance. However you're still able to park down at the Frances Park River parking and walk up to the trail. That's what me and some others have done

Are dogs allowed in Francis Park?

Nancy Izzo | Nov 3, 2021
Jay Angel | Nov 3, 2021

Yes with 6' or shorter leash. But I don't think it's being watched so hardcore that anyone is going to notice a longer leash. And if separate from anyone, a well trained loose dog playing fetch. Only an officer might say something, but I even doubt that.
