Patterson Park is located at the foot of Three Mile Drive and
Essex. In 1993, the George H. Helm Boardwalk along the shoreline of Lake St. Clair was
opened, and offers a splendid view of the surrounding area at any time of year. The
boardwalk is beautifully landscaped, lighted, and handicapped accessible. For
safety and maintenance reasons, no bicycles or rollerblades are allowed on the boardwalk.
Patterson Park is our passive park. Facilities
include grills, picnic tables, a covered picnic shelter, a splash pad, five regulation
tennis courts, a playground playscape, a basketball court, nature trail, exercise course,
a covered pavilion and lake access for non-motorized watercraft, such as windsurfers and
sailfish. Winter activities include: ice skating,
sledding, and cross-country skiing. Our zamboni keeps the ice well groomed for ice skating
all winter. A gate guard works year round.
