Paterson can be somewhat age unfriendly for the simple fact of lack of Oppurtunity.
My town is friendly because there are a lot if people that goes out of their ways to help others and make sure that everyone is in good hands.
Each one looks after personal interests. There is no organized community.
I feel as though my area is "age friendly" because the environment is fit for any age group. You can bring your kids to the local park without any issues or concerns and there are unlimited things to do with your children that can be participated by adults as well.

Paterson NJ is age friendly to everybody and anybody. It's a very diverse community with a great historical background. For children, there are many great parks to enjoy. East Side park has recreational fields to play sports and even offers outdoor grilling to enjoy a day with family and friends.
For adults, Downtown Paterson is filled with hundreds of stores, many of them family owned and operated. The Great Falls are part of a National Historical Park and have many day tours explaining its history.
