Dear Neighbors and Friends, Welcome to ESNA 2.0. We are more than a neighborhood association — we are a family united by our love for this historic community.

The Eastside Park neighborhood has been home to generations of Patersonians who take pride in our beautiful historic homes, our stunning Frederick Law Olmsted-designed park, and most importantly, each other. Since 1979, the Eastside Neighborhood Association has worked to preserve the character and stability of our neighborhood, and today, ESNA 2.0 continues that legacy with renewed energy and vision.

Our mission is simple: to improve our quality of life, celebrate our diversity, and promote the many advantages of living in this special corner of Paterson. Whether you’re a longtime resident or considering making Eastside Park your home, we invite you to join us at our events, connect with your neighbors, and help us build an even brighter future together.

Audrey McDowell, President, ESNA 2.0
