FreeMercer Street Park is a neighborhood-scale playground project in Phillipsburg that was funded through New Jersey Green Acres and town purchasing actions in 2025. Public town documents show the park's redesign includes a more accessible and inclusive play area, new fencing, replacement swings, poured-in-place rubber surfacing, and route improvements into the park. Equipment documents also list a therapeutic swing seat, transfer point, accessible stairs, spinner, sensory panels, and both preschool and school-age play elements. Families looking for a local outdoor option with updated inclusive features should find this one especially promising once the full installation is completed and open for everyday use.
