Patterson Park

Edit #2: Very excited to see that they are working on the health of the stream by removing the dam. I really like this park, there is a small trail by the creek and there are 'sites' and picnic tables all over the place. The flooding has done a number on the grass, it's quite soggy but still easily traversable. There is a lot of water access for fishing or to dip your toes in. The trees are mainly sycamore and there's a nice sized open field in the back. I have only visited in the colder months so I can't speak on the foot traffic but it is a little run down and disrespected. I do believe there is some poison ivy there but other than that it's really lovely for photos. Hours of operation are dawn to dusk. Update: The number of woodland native wildflowers is just fantastic. They recently went through and took care of some infected trees. This is probably my favorite park, a real gem. Amenities: Picnic tables Bathroom facility Playground(?) Picnic shelters Large fields Metal grills on each site Free parking Bridge Fishing Free(?) Parking Water access Dogs OK Edit: it's really tragic that a lot of the native wildflowers were mowed down for a disc golf course. Most courses use cement but the pads here are fake grass. Cars are absolutely going to get hit here, setting up holes close to a loop where the entire loop diameter is parking is asking for trouble. This park is way too small for this.

This is a quiet and somewhat remote little park. It's very nice and clean with a clear and very clean creek running through it. A small man-made waterfall adds to the overall atmosphere, while the sound of water makes a perfect background sound to relax to. I enjoy trout fishing while enjoying natural sounds and scenery. A Frisbee golf course has been recently added. I hope that the new addition doesn't cause it to get trashed!!

A beautiful park, but very rustic. The Rio Grande Creek flows through it. Bathrooms are very dated.
