People's Park (Paterson)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
People's Park is a vibrant section of Paterson, New Jersey in the Eastside neighborhood. It is a mixed use area with a diverse population. It is roughly bounded by I-80 to the south, Madison Avenue to the east, Cedar Street to the north and Straight Street to the south. It is a mostly residential neighborhood located north of 23rd Avenue and South of Market Street.
The section of Twenty-First Avenue in this area was once a predominately Italian neighborhood, but today it has a large Hispanic population and is referred to as La Ventiuno by Paterson's Spanish Speaking Community. It is an active and vibrant retail strip featuring a variety of shops and services catering to a diverse clientèle. Although there is still a significant Italian presence left in the neighborhood, it also has a large first-generation Hispanic population, particularly Colombian.
