The parkland comprises 298 non-contiguous acres along the river (travelling downstream) in Berkeley Heights , New Providence , and Summit .[3] Olmsted Brothers , sons of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted . Much of the land along the Passaic was acquired in the 1960s.[2]

The Passaic River Parkway lies in the valley of the Passaic River (the drainage basin of Second Watchung Mountain ) in northwestern Union County, where the river creates the borders with Somerset and Morris Counties . There are also parks and nature areas in the riparian floodplain across the river in Watchung , Warren Township , Long Hill Township and Chatham .[4] Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is just west of the river.
Many of the crossings of the river in the park are late 19th century or early 20th century bridges.[5]
