Severe Weather Policy

Franklin Ranch follows best practices for outdoor activities during severe weather.

• Seek Safe Shelter – The safest locations include enclosed buildings or metal vehicles with windows rolled up. Avoid metal fences, dugouts, trees, and water.

• Weather Monitoring – Event managers and officials will monitor weather conditions using radar, NOAA Weather Radio, and other trusted sources.

• Assumption of Risk – Participants continuing activities in severe weather do so at their own risk.

Sportsmanship & Conduct

• Positive Environment – We encourage all visitors to maintain a family-friendly, drama-free atmosphere.

• Respect for Officials & Staff – Treat all park officials, umpires, and staff with respect. Failure to do so may result in removal from the park.
