Franklin Square is the oldest public park in Corvallis, donated to the city by Beniah R. & Addie Job in 1889 to be used “for all time to come as a public park”. The Jobs prioritized beautification of the community, and the planting of trees & shrubs commenced at once.

For at least 46 years, there has been a play structure for children in the park.
