Pricing Snapshot
Smoyer Park Playground is a recently refreshed play area within Barbara Smoyer Memorial Park in Princeton. The municipality announced in 2025 that the replacement project added brand new equipment, a shade canopy, and new poured-in-place rubber surfacing to increase accessibility. That makes it one of the clearer current municipal examples in Princeton of an accessibility-minded playground upgrade. The surrounding park adds broader recreation value for families planning more than a quick stop.
