Princeton Playground — Attraction in Deptford Township

A minor step up from the deserted jungle gym at the Harvey Ave. playground in Pine Acres, this playground has some kiddie swings and a basketball court to go along with a jungle gym for three year olds. No shade here though and gets really hot in the summer months.

I notice in the picture the bigger swings are gone also. All I can do is shake my head and wonder why? I'll bet insurance reasons, and that stinks, because back in the day this place along with the bigger swings that you could get up pretty high and attempt some tricks on, had the high steep pitch death slide (was about 15~20 feet up), real monkey bars shaped like a dome and made out of steel with asphalt below it, and the spinning circle, wouldn't call it a merry go round, those who grew up pre 1985 know what I'm talking about. We could get thing going real fast causing some to puke or other to get scared and attempt to jump off which always ended in fail. Had the telephone pole on the ground along the fence too by the houses you could take a break and sit down in the shade, had to be careful, those splinters were no joke.

Ah, good times, and a good play ground ruined by insurance companies, lawyers, and over...

My daughter men many nice kids there and had a ball. Can use more shaded areas but there's one shaded bench in a great place there should be more. Sun beaming down all day, it also should have a sprinkler to cool down during the summer months. This is the only playground I ever took my daughter to in five years, and she and I loved it ever since her 1st...
