About the Venue

Mary Moss Playground is a thoughtfully updated neighborhood play spot in Princeton's Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. The playground was renovated in 2018 and pairs poured-in-place rubber surfacing with toddler swings, benches, a picnic pavilion, and a paved walking loop around the site. Its standout feature is Princeton's only municipal spray pad, which makes this a strong warm-weather option for younger kids and mixed-age siblings. Families should know there are no restrooms on site and parking is limited to surrounding streets.
