Nature
There are no heavily forested areas of Patterson Park; however, there are plenty of open spaces. Bird watchers will still have a good time, though, as there are plenty of birds in the park. The boat lake, recently reconstructed, is inhabited mostly by mallard ducks, but also is visited by other birds, including American coots and wood ducks. There are also fish, frogs, and turtles in the lake. It is possible one may see a Great Blue Heron or Great Egret fishing around.
