Since 1976 Franklin Township has shared the cost of the Paul E. Fitzgerald pool located in Franklin. We do this as a benefit to our residents, who receive the discounted resident rate when visiting the pool. All residents of Franklin Township, including those in Carlisle, Franklin and portions of Middletown are eligible for the lower admission and pass rates. Operating a pool on our own would be cost prohibitive, so we share this amenity with the City of Franklin.
