Cadwalader Park, Playground

One of Trenton’s better-kept secrets, this playground got a solid remodel not too long ago and it shows. The climbing structure keeps older kids busy while younger ones have their own setup that’s actually sized for them — not just a smaller version of the same thing. The whole play area is fenced in, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a runner on your hands. There’s open grass nearby if someone needs to burn off extra energy or you want to spread out a blanket. Security has improved too, so it genuinely feels like a spot you can relax at rather than just surveil from the bench.
