William J. Devine Golf Course

The municipal golf course occupies much of Franklin Park's eastern landscape. Tee times, fees, clubhouse hours, course conditions, and player access are separate from free general park access.

Parking is distributed around the 485-acre park. Navigate to the zoo, Playstead, Tiffany Moore Tot Lot, golf clubhouse, Scarboro Pond, or another exact destination before driving.

Golf access depends on tee times, daylight, weather, and course operations rather than general Franklin Park hours.

Facilities are concentrated near staffed attractions, fields, playgrounds, and the golf or zoo areas. Remote woodland routes do not have dependable restroom coverage.

The golf course charges greens and related fees; surrounding general park areas remain free.

Improved entrances and paved routes connect many developed destinations, but wooded trails, steep grades, roots, pond edges, construction, and long distances vary substantially.

Do not bring pets onto active golf-course areas unless the operator explicitly permits them.

Use Tiffany Moore Tot Lot for documented accessible play and spray play, or choose the zoo separately. The Wilderness and pond are better for older children prepared for a longer walk.

The municipal golf course occupies much of Franklin Park's eastern landscape. Tee times, fees, clubhouse hours, course conditions, and player access are separate from free general park access. White Stadium and pathway projects can alter roads, parking, and paths. Check construction, field events, zoo traffic, heat, thunderstorms, snow, ice, and woodland conditions.

Several MBTA routes serve different edges. Route 16 connects the zoo and golf side with Forest Hills and Andrew; choose transit based on the exact destination.
