Croatian Park is a 30-acre cultural gathering space in Franklin operated by the Federation of Croatian Societies, featuring picnic grounds, a beer garden, and event facilities rooted in over 75 years of community heritage.
This beloved destination serves as the home of the Croatian Eagles Soccer Club, recognized as North America's oldest active soccer club, and hosts a variety of cultural events and activities that celebrate Croatian traditions. The park offers a welcoming atmosphere for both community members and the general public, with beautiful grounds ideal for enjoying outdoor gatherings and cultural celebrations.
Croatian Park is available for public rental and continues to be an important hub for the local Croatian community, recently playing a role in establishing a sister city relationship between Milwaukee and Zadar, Croatia. The Federation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is currently fundraising for a new pavilion project to enhance the park's facilities and ensure its continued service to the community.
