Wallington, NJ

Wallington is a small Bergen County borough along the Passaic River, across from Passaic in Passaic County. Its compact size and riverfront location give it a dense, older northern New Jersey feel, with homes, local businesses, parks, and schools close together. The borough has community traditions such as its December holiday parade, and its recreation areas include athletic fields, courts, picnic space, a dog park, and a small fishing pond. Wallington is practical, tightly settled, and very much part of the Passaic-Bergen urban fabric.
