About Passaic
Park
Passaic Park, located between Passaic Avenue and the Passaic River, is a historic and residential Passaic neighborhood with a grand Olmsted-designed park and a showcase of early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Passaic Avenue near the park gates, where corner bakeries, small groceries, and long-running eateries set a steady street rhythm. St. John’s Episcopal Church anchors the streetscape with Gothic Revival presence. Passaic Park’s curving lanes frame Tudor, Colonial Revival, and brick multifamily homes with deep porches and mature trees. The park’s lagoon paths and ballfields shape daily routines and weekend gatherings. A short walk east, the Passaic River waterfront and Dundee Island Park add open sky and water views.
