Around Patterson Park

Friday nights are low-key in Patterson Park. In the early evening, many people relax after a long week by going to the park lake or setting up on their front porch to get some fresh air.

The park is the perfect place to go on a bright and warm Sunday. You have a lot of ground to cover, from the boat lake to the marble fountain. The trails are designed for walkers and bikes and wrap around the entire park. The Virginia S. Baker Recreation Center holds many classes and room for sports, while the dog park is a lot of fun for furry friends.

Families, joggers, dog owners, and everyone else seeking an urban green space head to the center of the neighborhood for the park.

Along the trails, you'll see a variety of people enjoying themselves with picnics, exercising, enjoying the park, or photographing the flora and fauna.

Patterson Park is primarily a residential neighborhood, so there aren't many restaurants nearby. You have a few locally-owned places south of the park, featuring American cuisine and seafood. Most of your food adventures will take you into nearby neighborhoods, such as Canton and Fells Point.
