The David Bradford Park in Princeton, NJ is a tiny, fenced, public park located at 53 Pine St.[1] Per a sign on its gate, no dogs are allowed. Containing only a bench, a picnic table, and a few toys for toddlers, this mini-park is half a block away from the Small World Coffee shop on Nassau St. This park is the location of an annual neighborhood party for people who live on Pine Street in Princeton.
Renaming
Formerly known as Pine Street Park[2], it was renamed in 2005 for David Bradford, an economics professor at Princeton who had lived on Pine St. until his accidental death[3], after his family made a grant for the park's improvement.
Pocket Park
The park is one of several "mini-parks" in the former Princeton Borough that are maintained by the Princeton Recreation Department.[4][5] These small parks are also sometimes called "pocket parks".
