Pickleball Courts in Franklin, WI

Franklin holds a real distinction: Froemming Park's 6 outdoor courts, opened July 1, 2024, were the first dedicated outdoor pickleball courts built in Milwaukee County, according to the verified record. They're free, first-come-first-served, with groups able to reserve through the county, and the season runs April through November like the rest of the county's outdoor facilities. The city has kept building since — Lions Legend Park, a 35-acre park, later added courts as well (the mayor's office announced 10 in a public post, though the parks department's own facility page hasn't independently confirmed that count), and the city's Community Education & Recreation department runs scheduled open-play sessions there. Pleasant View Park has temporary pickleball lined onto its existing tennis courts, while the separate, similarly-named Pleasant View Neighborhood Park and Vernon Barg Park round out the city's amenity list, all free and dawn-to-dusk. Franklin's pattern is a city actively expanding a sport it only formally introduced in 2024.
