Life near the college and the Delaware

Braeburn Heights is a small splice of Ewing Township that's located at the base of The College of New Jersey and near the Delaware River. Set among the woods and residential streets, Braeburn Heights has a distinctly suburban rhythm that's interrupted now and then by the overhead rush of jets coming in and out of Trenton Mercer Airport. Many find that the convenience outweighs the disruptions, as parks, major shopping centers and quick access to Pennsylvania come as part of daily life.

Braeburn Heights is just minutes away from The College of New Jersey.

Games at Moody Park and history at Washington Crossing

Higgs Park is a quaint 3-acre space named after Florence S. Higgs, a beloved local educator and principal of the former Ewing Park Elementary School. Kids can romp around Higg Park's playground or shoot hoops on the basketball court. There's also a picnic area, grills and a gazebo. For more active recreation, the play to be is Moody Park. If there's a little league or adult league ball game happening, it's probably at one of Moody Park's baseball, softball or t-ball fields. There are also batting cages and concession stands. If baseball isn't your sport, have no fear. Moody Park has basketball courts and football fields, providing space for nearly every sport in every season. Or, if a round of golf is your pleasure, try out the green at Mountain View, a public golf course. Washington Crossing State Park is nearby, where George Washington crossed the Delaware River in 1776. You can hike and visit a museum on the grounds.

Higgs Park, near Braeburn Heights, is a favored spot for locals to stroll with their furry companions.
