Pass by one time and decided to stop by on my way back...like it a lot walked around the pond spent some time on playground... Good place to take kids... Also you can fish in there

Great place to take your children or just go for a walk...as there is a great pond, lots of play equipment and the spacious paths are surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees and amazing nature! Been going here since I was a child and now I get to enjoy it with my child!

A beautiful park full of flowers and a lovely pond to fish at. Theres a playground area for kids and a really nice walking trail to enjoy a stroll on.

Clean. 2 separate sections for age groups and the 2 till 5 year old section has a padded ground!

Very spacious park, with an asphalt walking trail, large pond to fish in, two separate entrances off 55th street, kids playground area. Real nice park to walk dogs, and it has several picnic benches. Found some pieces of trash, collected it up and disposed of

Fun pond to walk around, see the geese and ducks. I like the 3 parallel bridges each acting as a spillway. The playground is new and theres lots of shade throughout the park to relax or eat a meal. Parking available on both west and east sides of the park with playground to the west

Nice safe environment, lovely ponds. Very clean

One of the few parks that allows dogs on leashes. Well kept and clean.

Great park. Beautiful lake to walk around and fish. It has two playgrounds one for kids 2-5 and a bigger one for older kids.

Really nice park, came here after a storm, not a lot of people at this time. Really nice lake and paved walkways. Had a great time.

Very beautiful park did not know that we had such a wonderful park so close

Nice playground for kids. Nice walkway for adults. Alot of people fishing.

Beautiful park! Great family environment and very relaxing.

Has a nice pond to walk around. Good to keep your mind of stuff.

Nice park for walk. And play ground for the kids.

This is a lovely park, like seriously! Its big, have a pond and a great place to jog. BUT! Man, theres a lot of POOP! Everywhere actually! OMG! Hopefully, dog owners can be more responsible with their dogs turd.

A beautiful place for a walk with your dogs, alone or with a friend; a run, park time with the kids and just connecting with nature. A hidden gem.

Nice park and pond. Downside is that there is a lot of goose poo on the sidewalk. Step carefully!

Beautiful little playing area open for my infant.great walk.wish duck/geese poop is removed regularly as its hard to even walk around water .because of poop I was scared to leave my baby on the ground to walk....rest v pleasant.love to spend eves there

Stocked pond, marsh, and wooded areas offer interesting terrain. Usually there are ducks or geese to feed. Pleanty of room to jog or to walk your dog. Overall, this park is nicer than average.

Kids are having a lots of fun and nice place to fishing.

Very well maintained and clean park . Huge pond that has a walking path all the way around . Also two parks for children to play on and use of a public bathroom on two sides on the park.

Good size playgrounds, decent size pond for fishing and nice paved walking paths. Will come back time and time again.

Beautiful park, well kept. Great place for a picnic or a nice walk.

Outstanding park with nature trails, butterfly garden, and gorgeous lake

Nice park on a small lake. Kids park, with a younger kids park next to it.

Chill and quaint

Very nice park with lovely pond and trail.

Nice place for a relaxing afternoon fishing.

Been coming over 40 yrs and never a bad experience. Pretty peaceful lake, good fishing, nice picnic area and a clean playground for the kids. It’s kept clean and your sure to encounter friendly people and dogs if you walk around the lake.

Great park with a nice lake

Best Park with a beautiful natural looking lake and a 0.45 mile track around with beauty of nature around. It also has kids park along side for kids.

Beautiful pond and nice walking track.

Clean, wellKept. Nice walking path around lake.

Near the west parking lot, youll find two nice playgrounds: one for little ones, and one for big kids. There is a nice, paved path that wraps around the entire lake. Its a beautiful place for a walk or run. We have even had family photos taken here two different times.

Very Nice. Enjoyed a lot.

Loved this Place! Its gorgeous- like being at the Chain of Lakes State Park without the drive! Great paved path around the perimeter ( .5 miles). Covered pavilion,2 bridges, playground. Beautiful trees!!

Nice place for a walk by the water.

This park has something for everyone. It has a jogging/walking tail around the lake, 2 nice play areas for kids on the west side of the park, and a picnic area on the east side. There are benches scattered around to sit and relax on. People are usually fishing around the lake. My kids like to watch the fish and the ducks. Sometimes they hunt for frogs.

A good place for kids and Adults

Great little playground next to beautiful pond with jogging path around it. Decent, but not a ton of parking. Porta-potty available but otherwise no restroom options.

Nice clean park

Very peaceful park with nice people in the neighborhood. Love this place.

Lake, nice big place

Very pretty place

This is a nice small Park not far from where I live. You can have a nice walk around the park. Or sit on one of the many benches or on the grass and enjoy nature. It has what looks like a man-made lake with ducks swimming around in the summer. Theres plenty of parking. And you can have a picnic there, even a small group picnic. I often see people taking their lunch break in their car. On the other side of the lake is a childrens playground.

Nice park, but dogs are unleashed which makes my already nutty dog nuttier so this is not a good park for us. Sprawling, lots of nature and even some bridges that nutto dog fears to cross, but otherwise, a good place to fish and hang out if you do not own a nutto dog. Nice walking paths too and playground with bbq area.

Great but very chiledish

Very clean and a great area

Beautiful park nice trail

Beautiful scenery...Relax and enjoy the wonderful sounds of nature!

Good place

Great place, i would rate 5 if people dont bring their own pit bulls among kids.

Nice walk around lake, fishing, picnic area, has parking lots, porta toilets. Pretty area.

A great park for just about everything. I loved going here when I was a little kid and still enjoy coming here with my friends. It is also a great place to have a picnic as there is a nice shelter, Plenty of grills and tables for all. It is also a great spot to go fishing. The two downfalls if this park are there is little parking and no real bathrooms only portable bathrooms.

Very nice spot. Great for photography and videography.

Small yet very nice for a walk around its pond.

Beautiful park at any time of the year.

Awesome park with kids activities and a nice walking path around Barth Pond. Highly recommend this park.

Beautiful Family Friendly Park also noticed pets

Nice for little kids.

One of the places I love in Downers Grove is Patriots Park! My daughter plays in the playground and we walk our dogs around Barth Pond. There is also a picnic area!

We love this playground for our 3 and 5 year old. Very helpful to have a port-a-potty near the playground! The walking path around the pond is great. I wish there wasnt a ton of geese poop everywhere (any time of the year).... It does take it the rating from a 5 star to a 4 star. You have to dodge the poop a large portion of the path and in the grass near the pond.

This is a great park! Quiet and very scenic. We love the pond either for fishing it just sitting and enjoying the view. Very nice place for a picnic or a quick walk.

A lovely park which is centered around a large pond, it has walking trails all the way around the pond. It has really nice, well kept grassy areas which are great for picnicking or relaxing on the south and east sides of the park. There is also a stone paved area on the east end of the pond, which is a great place to fish from. Parking off of 55th Street is available on both the east and west ends of the park, with a large playground area by the west end parking lot. The east side of the park is great spot to sit and watch a gorgeous sunset over the water.

If you love parks come here!

Great playground and walking trail! Busy on a nice weekend but all in all a great place!

Pure Serenity. My peaceful escape.

Love to take the kids, you can fish, play on the play ground or take prom pictures there. Very nice park with a pond.

Beautiful park

So nice

Nice park! Well maintained. Good for walks.

Perfect for walking with baby, to celebrate birthday party’s and to have a good time .

Where to give it 4 stars but this whole summer 2018 The Fountains will never turn back on the aerators in the middle of the lake which made it very pretty the park itself is kept up well very clean lots to do for kids theres a nice Trail to walk a little fishing a play park for young kids its a nice place

Beautiful place to enjoy a nice day. I happened upon Patriots Park by accident and Im so glad I did. Its become a place I frequent regularly and I thoroughly enjoy myself every time Im here. :)

Great place for the kids on a beautiful day

Awesome walking trails. Two different playgrounds for age appropriate kids at one side of park. Beautiful area to relax in.

This park is great for all ages. We went at sunset and the weather was just perfect. We grilled at the gazebo with picnic tables at one end of the lake, played soccer in the field. Then walked down the path along the lake to the playground where they had perfect equipment for my 3-year old. We will definitely be back for other visits.

Love the path around pond and playground equipment

3 Stars because it has a Pokemon Gym. -2stars because in winter when snow accumulates, it doesnt get plowed as much as pokemon raid wants it to be. (Only pokemon go players will understand).

Tranquil, family friendly, great fishing!

Too much goose poop

Walk around the pond with the dogs. Lots of good smells were had.

Great little spot for fishing the little ones

Very clean and scenic, love taking walk there.

Been coming here for 20 years, I love this park.

Very good play area for smaller tots but should supervise on climbing area.

Excellent fishing spot, nice pavilion and play ground. Can paddle boat there too. However there is busy street directly next to the park and issues with goose waste

Lovely park and a great place to walk around especially with little kids.

Nice park that surrounds Barth Pond. Did a lot of running her in middle school and now walk my dog around the trail often. A nice relaxing place for a walk.

One of my daughters favorite parks. Nice lake. Good equipment.

Nice little place for an evening jog. Good parking space too.

Great play ground for the kids and an awesome spot for pictures. I have fished here before but never caught anything. Not a lot of parking.

Nice place near Butterfield, good place for picnic with family, inc should visit during summer.

Beautiful park with a childs playground and pond for fishing, walking paths, and picnic area

The park is beautiful! The lake and the views are gorgeous, and there is a lot of green. You can walk your dog here! And I even saw some fishing.

Scenic and relaxing. One of my favorite places to hammock.

A very peaceful and pleasant place to go with your family.

Peace

I Love this park! Beautiful scenery, lots of friendly geese and squirrels (but dont pet them!), playground, pavillion and picnic table area and a few different paths to walk. A+++
