A panorama of the David Bradford mini-park at 53 Pine St in Princeton, NJ taken in 2023.

The David Bradford Park in Princeton is a small, fenced 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 Small World coffee.

I have never known anyone as willing and interested as him when it came to discussing and pursuing disagreements in an amiable and open-minded spirit.

It took more than a decade and a seat on Borough Council to see that TLC come to fruition. Koontz’s baptism under fire, so to speak, came with the rehabilitation of Bradford Park. This little park, formerly known as Pine Street Park, is so small that it is not even listed on today’s municipal web site though I have been assured that it is indeed maintained by the Recreation Department. It is named for David Bradford, an economics professor at Princeton who had lived on the street and died in a tragic accident in 2005 when he attempted to remove a burning Christmas tree from his home.
