Franklin Park is located in Prince George’s County, one of the largest and fastest growing counties in the country. Modeled after English garden cities of the 19th century, Greenbelt took its name from the belt of green forestland at its perimeter and the belts of green, which beautifully line its neighborhoods. Today the bustling community is known for plentiful open green spaces. Learn more.
