Find the missing piece of your day at our drop-in puzzle program featuring a lively swap meet. Bring your favorite puzzles, trade with fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy a casual day of collaborative problem-solving and camaraderie. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover new challenges, share your passion for puzzles, and connect with like-minded individuals in a fun and relaxed family friendly setting.
The Drop-in Puzzling and Puzzle Swap Meet is a free community gathering where neighbors can trade gently used jigsaw puzzles and collaborate on shared boards. Held in the park, this event offers a relaxed space to clear out your game closet and find new-to-you designs without spending a dime. To participate in the swap, bring complete puzzle sets in their original boxes, secured with a rubber band. The event is open to all ages, making it a quiet, screen-free activity for toddlers who enjoy chunky wooden boards and older kids ready for complex designs. Parking is available in the public deck on Town Hall Campus, just a short walk from the park grounds. This gathering makes an excellent afternoon stop because it costs nothing and helps you refresh your home toy collection. You can grab a coffee nearby, let the kids work on a community puzzle, and head home with a fresh activity for your next rainy day.
No, you do not need to bring a puzzle to participate. While the swap meet relies on trades, anyone can stop by to work on the collaborative community puzzles set up in the park.
Where is the best place to park for this event?
You can park in the free parking deck behind Cary Town Hall or use the street parking spaces along Academy Street, both of which offer easy stroller access to the park.
