Friends of Patton Park

Located adjacent to the Patton Park Recreation Center at 2301 Woodmere (with an additional entrance off Dix St (shown)), Patton Park is an 84-acre park located on the Southwest side of Detroit in District 6, along the border of Dearborn. The park, named for the World War II US military leader General George S. Patton, was dedicated in the early 1950s.  Along with traditional amenities like walking paths, sports fields, playgrounds/fitness equipment, and picnic shelters, the site is also home to a natural marsh area that is the only existing remnant of Baby Creek. Trails at Patton Park connect to other networks throughout the Mexicantown and Corktown neighborhoods.
