Early Gold Park

A residential-area park in Patterson with a playground and an open-air basketball court, the kind of straightforward neighborhood park most of Patterson's newer subdivisions were built around. It doesn't have the scale or programming of the sports complex or the downtown parks, but it's a genuine, well-used local option for a quick playground stop if you're staying nearby. Like most of Patterson's smaller parks, there's no fee and no reservation needed to use it.
