Franklin Square, the once-forgotten green space at Sixth and Race Streets, celebrated a milestone on Saturday: This July marks 20 years since the square\u2019s dramatic revitalization, which transformed it from a dusty and dim outpost to a destination for family-friendly fun.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Franklin Square (originally North East Publick Square and later renamed in honor of Benjamin Franklin) dates back to 1682, when William Penn designed Philadelphia. Penn anchored the city around a quintet of parks.<\/p>\n
