Patriots Park

Jessica Gorski

Patriot's Park (AKA referred to as Barth Pond years ago) is a wonderful place that caters to people of all ages which is great! It has also been my childhood park and is now my family's next generation childhood park too!! So I've been a frequent visitor over the last 30ish years and still am to this day! I would definitely recommend this park to others! They have done multiple Expansions and improvements the park itself and the the most recent expansion of the bridge! So we already visited already! This is our regular local park that we go to very frequently and it is always and it in fun and always had great family moments and fun times there, very clean, big Pond, walking/bicycle path that runs all around the pond! It is quite a beautiful place to get in a nice walk around the pond, get some free time alone or with the entire family, meet up with friends to fish, or use the path to workout, etc. (I think a little less than a mile long).

A bit too much rain for the faux coyotes at Patriot Park. When less water it is a very pretty park to walk around the pond. There are lots of benches on the south side of park, but none that I know of on the north side. 55th St can sounds a bit busy but we usually walk the path nearest the water. It would be nice to post a large sign at entrance to parking lots notifying the wooden bridge is non-passable. My 87yo father didn't know and walked all the way around park to find out he had too go all the way back.

A quiet and nice park off 55th street in Downers Grove, this park has a huge pond with many wildlife including geese, mallards and ducks. There is a parking lot where you can park and a walking trail around the pond. The park is well kept, clean except for the bird droppings. There's also a catch and release fishing, benches all around where one can sit and enjoy the quiet.
