Nash Park had some renovations done and its like really cool to see in person and it might inspire you to watch the movie if you haven't seen it yet. It wasn't on Yelp and I accidentally found it and I figured its worth being on here. So please feel to share it with others and let this park become A Beautiful Place!

Super cute. Local. Well built…read more I accidentally bumped into this park while picking up my take out order. I am so glad I did. Since we are in a pandemic mode and there are not many place for outdoor dining, this park was perfect for it. I really appreciate how well of a build it is. There are plenty of benches and tables to gather. It also has a very unique Japanese structure on site which I think is an amazing idea. Thank you for reading this and I hope you find this helpful.

Only issue is I have is that the lot you park in has pot holes that you might drive over. These should be fixed by Plainsboro parks and recreation department.

GROVERS MILL/WEST WINDSOR: thanks to the TikTok account, Vintage.newjersey, we were reminded of…read morethe legendary moment that put this small town on the map, quite literally. Grovers Mill was the accidental epicenter of the infamous 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast by Orson Welles, which caused widespread panic as listeners believed a real Martian invasion was underway. The writers reportedly chose the location by dropping a pencil on a map, launching Grovers Mill into unexpected fame and chaos. You can experience this quirky slice of history by visiting the monument commemorating the event in Van Nest Park. Follow the short, paved path to the right of the playground to find informational displays about the broadcast. Continue walking to the field, and look to your left, the monument is slightly tucked away behind some bushes. The park itself is a lovely place to relax: bring a picnic, enjoy the playground, or sit on a bench overlooking the serene Grover's Mill Pond. Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed! Just up the road, be sure to stop by the Red Barn, a charming spot and perfect backdrop for a photo.

The under 2 area is an after thought and the bigger kids still will come over anytime they want. It wasn't that clean. There were some areas in the under 2 space that just had dust or dirt caked on. My husband and I was like -nah. This is only good for a small private party-I wouldn't go on my own. The lil houses aren't even fully stock. It's nothing in them. Good idea though. My son liked the block in the lil construction area but he mostly just kept crawling around the whole place. They don't even have a ball pit. I really wish I could open up a place closer to Trenton bec this was underwhelming. Like why isn't there any shoe organization? Kids don't care bec they just want to run around but as an adult who has to spend the money. No thinks

This dog park has big and small dog areas. The dog park is located next to the basketball court, tennis court and skate park. Inside the small dog area where we went, had multiple benches and shade. I loved the agility course set up for the dogs. I also liked the dog bags and trash cans in the actual area instead of walking out to dispose of it. There is a grass area separating the small and dog area which is great to see. There is also a walking path outside of each area.

Access gates are loose rocked areas so people with mobility issues may find that a bit like moving through sand. Mornings and midday are usually low key. Afternoons and evenings are busier. This park is located near a community pool, skate park, basketball courts, and other athletic fields.

There's nothing else. No walking path. In the back right of the field, there's a very faded sign that says trail but it's so overgrown and not maintained you can't really go anywhere. A good spot for a picnic maybe or a rest between walking on the canals. There's two portable restrooms but no actual bathrooms. The portapotties were particularly filthy but it's also a holiday weekend day.

Turning Basin Park is a convenient spot along Alexander Road with easy access to the walking trail…read morealong the Delaware & Raritan canal. The entrance is somewhat hidden from the road, but it's directly across from Princeton Canoe Rental. The entrance to the park has spaces for about 15-20 vehicles and provides easy access to the canal trail for walkers, bicyclists, or kayakers One nice feature is that the canopy of trees provides shade in the summer if you take a stroll in the late afternoon or early evening. Be careful on the path as you're likely to encounter bicycles, joggers, and walkers. When it's not crowded, the trail is peaceful and the canal is calm. This is a great spot for easy access to the canal trail!

Wear light, waterproof hikers if you venture into the Rogers Refuge after a rain. The woods are filled with numerous varieties of trees and shrubs that provide a haven for a wide variety of birds, so bring your field guide! The trails are popular, but you'll encounter fewer humans the closer you get to the Delaware Canal. Parking is also limited, but you can park at the Rogers Refuge entrance, rather than the Battlefield Park lot. That said, here are a couple of notes: Beware of poison ivy if you step off of the actual trail, as it is everywhere. Also, during Autumn and early Winter, be sure to prep your shoes/pants for ticks, as they may be found in the leaf litter that blankets the trails. This is a good idea anytime and anywhere you hike. It's not a huge area, but the trail markings may as well be nonexistent. If you're unfamiliar with the trails, bring a map of the refuge and the institute grounds. They're both easily found and/or printed here: https://rogersrefuge.org/guides/

If you're lucky, you'll see frogs and deer! If you're not, it's still fun to id trees and any mushrooms you stumble upon. There's a fun swinging bridge by the river's edge trail. I recommend: old sneakers or hiking shoes (for the mud), bug spray (mosquitoes), and a map (you can find one online or just use your phone). Note: I have never found a tick on me and I visit at least once a week, weather permitting! But you should still check for them.

They offer classes and private lessons for all ages and levels of tennis players as well as organized opportunities for competitive play--USTA leagues, tournaments, round robins, etc. You can also reserve court-time (using the online reservation system) for informal game play with your friends. Be warned. Court time can be tough to snag during peak times on weekends, so reserve well in advance if you can.

I called at 8 pm and they picked up saying it was on the website. They should have texted or emailed or called every student hours ago. And there is no refund or make ups! Not a good policy.

We concentrated on the wider and paved trails and eventually looped around 1(?) of the lakes. Many of the trails are shaded which was perfect for this mid 90s day, and the park was not crowded at Most people had masks down but pulled back up as others were nearby, we did likewise. I'm going to explore more of this overlooked gem, and I think a picnic on the lake when temps moderate. Towards the back of the one lake is a few well positioned benches( others scattered around the lake too) which we found perfect for quiet conversation and butterfly watching. I also look forward to returning in other seasons as was suggested by another review.
