The David Bradford Park in Princeton is a tiny, fenced, public park located at 53 Pine St. 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 Street.
Formerly known as Pine Street Park, it was renamed for David Bradford, an economics professor at Princeton who had lived on Pine St. until his accidental death in 2005[1], after his family made a grant for the park's improvement.
The park is one of several "mini-parks" in the former Princeton Borough that are maintained by the Princeton Recreation Department.[2][3]
