Franklin Square is one of the five original open-space parks planned by William Penn when he laid out the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1682. It is located in the Center City area, between North 6th and 7th Streets, and between Race Street and the Vine Street Expressway.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed) and other American Revolutionary sites.

Park benches have served as meeting spots, lunch locales, landmarks, date venues, and ever-present places to stop and watch life unfold around you.

Park benches often become symbolic landmarks within communities. They serve as memorials, with plaques commemorating loved ones, or as dedicated meeting spots for friends and neighbors. This symbolic value enhances their role in community building, making them cherished features of public spaces.

One of the primary functions of park benches is to provide a place for visitors to rest and rejuvenate. After a long walk or an active play session, park-goers can sit down, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings.
