City of Franklin's official parks page lists Lions Legend Park (8713 W Drexel Ave, 35-acre park) with pickleball courts; the Franklin mayor's official Facebook page announced 10 pickleball courts officially open at Lions Legend Park. Free public outdoor play, dawn to dusk; city Community Ed & Rec also runs scheduled open-play sessions here. Court count kept null pending direct confirmation on the parks page itself (mayoral FB post cites 10, but that's a secondary announcement, not the parks department's own facility listing).
