More improvements coming to Princeton City Park
princeton — A number of improvements are coming to Princeton City Park this year, officials said Friday.
Chris Mabe, marketing and public relations director for the city of Princeton, said the planned projects are to enhance safety and improve the park's appearance and usability for special events.
Mabe outlined the planned improvements, along with work that has already been completed, in a statement released by the city.
According to Mabe, the projects planned for later this year at city park include plans to install underpinning to the park's stage, renovations and a relocation of the pool's concession stand, and the installation of a new sound system at the pool.
Mabe said those upgrades are scheduled to begin soon.
'These continued improvements make the Princeton City Park and pool a welcoming destination for visitors to spend time outdoors through activities such as swimming, walking, hiking, disc golf, and live performances,' Mabe said in the statement.
The work planned for later this spring is in addition to a number of upgrades that were already completed last year.
The 2024 improvements included the addition of a new ADA-compliant restroom facility at the park, which has now been completed. The new restrooms are located next to the stage and the ADA playground.
New sound equipment and lighting were also installed on the park's multi-use stage, which will be put to use for the upcoming Music in the Park summer concert series.
Mabe said other improvements that were completed last year at city park included repairs to the rock walkway, the installation of a new diving board at the pool, the extension and paving of the handicap parking area, the installation of wooden bollards in the parking areas, enhancements to the 18-hole disc golf course, and the removal of fallen trees, brush, and debris.
