Programming and attractions in Franklin Square will run well into the evenings during the summer season. To beautify and enliven the evening hours, the Square has received all new lighting throughout the park, replacing existing lights and adding over 30 Franklin Fixture style lampposts, invented by its namesake, Benjamin Franklin.
Unlike any of the other major squares in Philadelphia, Franklin Square has bathroom facilities. As part of the renovation, the bathrooms have received a complete facelift, adding wheelchair-accessible facilities and a family facility with changing table.
The entire square will have 24-hour security seven days a week for the protection of its visitors and to ensure that future vandalism does not occur.
