Upper Raceway Park — photo spot in 70 Spruce St, Paterson, NJ 07501, USA
Upper Raceway Park
Overgrown 19th‑century raceway turned pocket park — a dry canal, mossy stone walls, an abandoned reservoir and tree‑lined tunnel create atmospheric, textured scenes. Best at golden hour or soft overcast light for rich greens and contrast; weekday mornings are quiet. Small site with street parking nearby (no fee); parts are fenced/blocked and a nearby playground may be private. Located inside the Great Falls historic district, it pairs well with shots of nearby industrial ruins.
