A small suburban township in the heart of Beaver County
If visitors blink on their way into Patterson Township, they might just miss the red and green welcome sign that proudly displays the town’s motto: A Safe Family Community. While the township spans less than 2 square miles, it embraces this saying in everything from its quiet residential streets to its neighborhood parks and highly rated schools in the Blackhawk School District. “People here look out for one another,” says Lisa Lathom, a Realtor with eXp Realty and a local resident.
In addition to its tight-knit community, the township offers a central location in Beaver County, with access to nearby thoroughfares such as Pennsylvania Route 51 and Interstate 376. “Patterson is a nice area because you’re right in the nook of some major highways. That makes it really easy to get wherever you need to go,” says Katina Hunter, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty with over 16 years of experience in the industry. Interstate 376 connects residents with the rest of the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area, with Downtown Pittsburgh about a 40-mile drive away. PA 51 also separates the township from Brady’s Run Park, the biggest green space in Beaver County and a popular destination for year-round recreation.
Patterson Township is a small community of approximately 3,100 in Beaver County, PA.

Sports courts, nature trails and fishing lake at Brady’s Run Park

At the indoor recreation center, there are more tennis courts, a walking track and an ice arena home to the Beaver County Amateur Hockey Association and the Beaver County Figure Skating Club. Both groups host their programs at the Brady's Run Park Ice Arena. Back outside, residents can explore a playground, dog park and miles of multi-use trails that weave around Brady’s Run Lake. The lake features a small sandy beachfront and allows for swimming, boating and fishing, with a steady supply of largemouth bass. Brady’s Run Park is also a destination for community events, ranging from a seasonal flea market to the annual Beaver County Maple Syrup & Music Festival.
On the opposite side of PA 51, Patterson Township Community Park is a former mining site that’s been transformed into a nature preserve with miles of wooded hiking trails. Also known as the John Ague Beegle Naturalist Area, the park is named after a former community member who donated the land for future residents to enjoy. The Beaver Valley Golf Club sits in the southeastern corner of the township and features an 18-hole semi-private golf course with scenic vistas of the Beaver River Valley. While the golf course is open to the public, members have access to preferred tee times. Residents are less than 2 miles from the Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls, which offers programs for all ages.
