About the Venue

Maggie's Playground is the play area within Quarry Park, a small neighborhood park at the eastern end of Spruce Street in Princeton. The playground received all new equipment in 2020 and is fully enclosed by fencing, which can be especially helpful for families who value tighter boundaries and easier supervision. The wider park also includes picnic tables, a half basketball court, open field space, and a walking path. Families should plan for limited street parking and no restrooms.
