Vreeland Avenue was railroad station in Paterson, New Jersey served by the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad (NYS&W).[2] Opened in 1873 by the New Jersey Midland, a predecessor to the NYS&W, it closed in 1966. Other existing original station buildings from the New Jersey Midland can be found at Vreeland Avenue, Wortendyke, Butler, and Newfoundland among other places.[3]

The location in the People's Park neighborhood is planned station on the proposed Passaic–Bergen Rail Line, a dormant New Jersey Transit Rail Operations project.[4]
