A Suburb Still Filling In

Excavation contractors in Franklin Park work in a borough that keeps growing. It had 5,310 residents in 1970, jumped 64.8 percent in the 1980s and reached 15,479 in 2020, on 13.54 square miles at an elevation around 1,260 feet. Subdivisions came after World War II, and Franklin Park became a borough in August 1961.

Young families

In 2020, 41.9 percent of the 5,376 households included children under 18, and homeowner vacancy was just 0.7 percent. Families invest in pools, patios, play areas, garages and the grading that goes with them.

Parks and game lands

Acorn Park, Blueberry Hill Park, Linbrook Park, Fifer's Fields Conservation Area and State Game Lands No. 203 keep a lot of open, wooded land in the borough. Lots that border them need careful erosion control.

New homes on wooded lots

Much of Franklin Park's newer housing sits on formerly wooded ground. Clearing, stump removal under footprints and driveways, and erosion control are the first steps of new construction. We keep clearing within the plan's limits.

Settling yards

Subdivisions from the 1980s onward now have yards that have settled. Low spots, water against foundations and soggy areas are common. Regrading and drains usually solve them.

Borough since 1961

Franklin Park became a borough in August 1961 and has added people every decade since. Permits for grading, pools and demolition go through the borough.
