    Not a public park!!!!! Visiting from Ohio and thought this would be a cute park to visit but got turned away at the gate. Parks should be public and for the people! Do not go to this park they will not let you in 👎👎👎

    This is a beautiful and peaceful park. It has a nice walkway by the water. The wooden playscape is very big and fun however it gets very hot in the summer heat. There is a big hill good for sledding down on the winter. The fountain gets turned into a little ice rink in the winter which I practice skating on.

    Absolutely gorgeous park along Lake Saint Clair. Splash pad, playground, chipping range, and so much more. Perfect!

    Super cool little park. The trees are tagged with identifiers so you know what they are. There players looked like a little kids dream. The view of the lake is very good! Staff is non-intrusive and friendly.

    Patterson Park's boardwalk is a fine escape from city life hustle and bustle. Perfect walking route for exercise.

    Patterson Park has been a favorite since my first visit! This small park feels so much larger as it offers something for everyone without feeling cramped. Thanks to Grosse Pointe Park parks and rec for superior care, not just maintenance!

    Our post 50th reunion picnic was held at the Lodge. It was well equiped and made an excellent location for this gathering.

    Residents of the Grosse Pointe Area are lucky to have wonderful facilities like this at their disposal. :)

    Had a family reunion here under the Pavillion. Well kept, nice play structure and splash pad. Great view and breeze off the water.

    This is a great park with a beautiful location on the water. It's residents only and it is amazingly underutilized. There is a beautiful boardwalk, restrooms, a splash pad at a playscape that is designed mostly for toddlers, not too good for kids under 10.

    Splash pad in summer is awesome, so is the play area. My kids prefer this park to others. Well maintained and lovely for a stroll by the lake or picnics.

    My kids and I visited this beautiful park located on Lake St Clair. Park wasn't crowded and actually had diligent parents watching their children play. Due to the structure being made of wood, we did get a nasty splinter. Took a nice walk along the boardwalk after. All 3 of us loved it! I can imagine that the splash pad makes for a fun summer day.

    We were met with three homeless men, one of which was fighting the air and removing his shirt. We felt completely unsafe and left immediately.

    Great area - splash park and jungle gym for kids, access to Lake St Clair for paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, etc. Cookout covered areas with picnic tables and grills available.

👍👍 This is a beautiful and peaceful park to hang out at. They have a nice swimming pool, concession stand, movie theater, volleyball court, park benches, docks, tennis courts, and playscape. I took karate and tennis lessons for years here.
