Franklin Recreation Center Improvements Project

The Greater Vallejo Recreation District is planning significant renovations at the former Franklin Middle School property to transform it into a comprehensive community recreation center known as Franklin Recreation Center Park. The project will introduce multiple recreational facilities including an outdoor basketball court, dedicated pickleball courts, a children’s play area, a multiuse synthetic turf field, a natural turf field, and a concession and picnic area designed to serve visitors and host community events. Complementary infrastructure improvements will be made to support these new amenities, such as expanded parking, landscape enhancements, energy-efficient lighting, upgraded utilities, and stormwater management systems to ensure environmental compliance and sustainable operations. The development aims to increase accessible recreational opportunities for residents across Vallejo while revitalizing a previously underutilized property. The project is forecasted to be posted on May 27, 2026, with all activities centered in Vallejo, California, specifically at the 94590 ZIP code location. Point of contact for inquiries includes Chris Andrade, Facilities Maintenance Supervisor, who can be reached via phone or email, and Shanna Guiler, Associate/Senior Environmental Planner, who provides technical and environmental guidance. Although the solicitation number, NAICS code, and set aside details are not yet specified, the initiative falls under the jurisdiction of the Greater Vallejo Recreation District and is being monitored through the California Environmental Quality Act portal, indicating adherence to state environmental review processes.
