| Welcome
to Woodland Park, N.J. |
West Paterson’s name was changed to the Borough of Woodland Park, effective January 1, 2009.
A referendum on the Nov. 4, 2008 General Election ballot, calling for the name change, resulted in a majority of the registered voters in favor of changing the name of the borough: 2,136 Yes to 2,111 No. On Dec. 17, the Mayor and Council approved a resolu-tion accepting the election results and officially de-claring Woodland Park as the borough’s new name.
A second referendum was placed on the Nov. 3, 2009 General Election ballot seeking to have the borough’s name revert back to West Paterson. Voters defeated the question: 2,248 No to 2,216 Yes. Therefore, the borough’s official name will remain Woodland Park.
In this website, you’ll find information about our municipality’s
services and our community.
Woodland Park is a suburban town of mountain
and river edge neighborhoods. The Borough is located in the
northeastern part of the state about 20 miles west of New York

| Old Street Lights Being Replaced |
USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING. . . .
PSE&G has started replacing all of the Borough’s old street lights with new “induction lighting”. The result will be a reduction in lighting costs, but more importantly it will save energy while providing better lighting with less maintenance.
The project has been contracted to a third party, so the workers will not be in PSE&G trucks.
Some work may be done at night.

NJ FamilyCare is a low-cost or free program for income-eligible families. For instance, a family of four earning up to $77,175 (or 350 percent of the federal poverty level) can qualify to insure their children for about $130 a month in the state- and federally-funded program.
