Glen Rock–Boro Hall is one of the pair of train stations managed by New Jersey Transit within the borough of Glen Rock, New Jersey, situated in Bergen County. It serves the Bergen County Line and derives its name from its location adjacent to the Glen Rock Municipal Building to the east. This naming differentiates it from the nearby Glen Rock–Main Line station, which lies two blocks west along Rock Road (County Route 134).

History

Originally opened on October 1, 1881, under the name Paramus, the station was renamed in 1891 to its current designation.

Station layout

The station consists of two tracks accompanied by low-level side platforms. Although the platforms are not elevated, accessibility for individuals with disabilities is provided through ramps on each platform.

Access for pedestrians is available via entrances at Rock Road, a pedestrian tunnel beneath Maple Avenue, and from the parking area off Glen Avenue. The parking facility utilizes a ticket machine system for payment, having replaced older parking meters.

Located just two blocks east of the Glen Rock–Main Line station, Glen Rock–Boro Hall offers convenient connectivity within the borough.
