Woodland Park

A town in Passaic County, New Jersey. A fairly middle class suburb located next to Paterson and Little Falls. Used to be called West Paterson but changed the name along with Elmwood Park, because of the bad reputation that Paterson's name carries. Overall, it is one of the best towns in Passaic County to live in along with Little Falls, Pompton Lakes, or Ringwood as there is absolutely no crime rate and it is not ghetto at all. Unfortunately, the bad of Paterson eventually spills into other towns, and it has hit Woodland Park, as the area near Glover Avenue is full of more ghetto wannabes and people with more financial troubles. The school system is amazing and there is much to do in this town. Garrett Mountain is a great place to visit if you live in the area and there are many safe parks that are well lit after sunset. New high schoolers move onto Passaic Valley Regional High School. Most students from this town, especially after 2016 are starting to go to surrounding schools such as PCTI which is Wayne or prep/private schools. This is because of PCTI becoming increasingly popular and PVHS lessening in students because of the influx of ghetto kids that move into the bad parts of Totowa.
