Beautiful park, lots of nice walking trails, many fun things to do, would recommend, have enjoyed this park for years

It's nice. It's okay. It's not the prettiest park I've ever been to, but nice for a stroll. Two items of note while we covered 10,000 steps on this day: A few beautiful old homes still on park grounds. I don't recall any signage describing why and what they were. A nice renovated covered bridge. The park itself lacked much signage after the first 10 minutes of walking. We had no idea what direction to go to get back to the main parking lot, which was frustrating. read more

My happy place. Been running here for 30 years. There's no place like it. What a gem.

The park is a very nice place for people to go on a walk and do outdoor activities However- it is not safe for dogs. Our dog had probably close to 100 ticks on him when we left the park today. We did not find any ticks on ourselves, but this was a scary and dangerous situation for our dog. We had a nice time, but unfortunately we will never go back read more

A beautiful place to spend an afternoon! The park is huge with several entrances and parking lots. The black top roads go through the whole park. It's possible to drive through the park. There's a playground near one of the meadows. The bathroom near the playground was closed on a Sunday in February. There's a large parking lot near the river. The river has a bridge walkway. There's a large house here with bathrooms. A fire pit is located in the front. Kayaks are available in warm weather. Many of the walking trails can be accessed from here. There are lots of easy walking trails on blacktop as well as on dirt. Horses are allowed in some areas. Dogs are allowed. Tyler State Park is an oasis of nature. read more

While this was only my first time at Tyler, I'm going to already stamp it with a five star review! What is not to love: 1. Free entry- maybe this isn't novel to some but in NOVA there are several parks similar to Tyler that are fee based. 2.picnic areas and grills galore 3. Boat rental: kayak, SUP, and canoe 4. The creek is a nice opportunity to cool off. Lots of people were swimming. Be aware, though, there are plenty of signs everywhere warning not to swim. 5. The trails have lots of little outcroppings and are fun to hike 6. You'll see lots of horseback riders 7. The ice cream truck comes on the weekends 8. Two words: disc golf 9. Relatively clean bathrooms 10. Large playground with a little kid section and a big kid section Everyone here seems to have a dog, so bring yours (or borrow two like I did) and have my son's number one dream: a dog party read more

We came to Tyler park in the middle of January and it was so beautiful in the cold. We saw 2 bald eagles flying around which was such a cool thing to see. I love the trails and scenery. read more

First time there was very enjoyable. Very good for birding if you're into that. Nature trails are a little small, but I was told about an eagle by horse riders, so I will be back. read more

Tyler State Park - Hiking with fam/friends! - Hiking Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

If you need a place to work out.... If you want to randomly meet new people.... If you want to enjoy nature and see wildlife all around you.... If you want to get together with friends and have a picnic.... If you want to go boat riding.... If you want to go fishing.... If you want to see a beautiful Covered Bridge where photos come out amazing... Then Tyler State Park is your place! Almost all their trails are paved, and there are so many different trails to take, it never gets boring! I also love all the wildlife all about you! If I only had the time, I could legit spend hours here every day~ Great for people of all ages, as they have benches spread throughout the park for you to sit if you get tired. read more

It is a park that is walking distance from my cousin's house when I visit him. I go all the time when I visit my cousins As a park for locals, I would give it 5 stars. The park is huge. Most of the trails are paved so it is great for a leisurely stroll, run or biking. There is a creek/ boathouse where a lot of people hang out around, picnic areas and a disc golf course. I enter at Twinning Ford road, walk in the Dairy Hill Trail, then head to the boathouse and make a large loop around the park. The scenery is pretty but not spectacular. Again, it is a great spot if you are a local or in town anyway. As a state park I would drive long distances for, there are probably better options. read more

This is a great park with tons of trails to walk, run and bike! I have come here quite a few times and took advantage of the trails, with some steep hills to get some walking in. There are some incredible views and scenery to take in as you walk on the trail and you can take the time to slow down, breathe and take in the nature and small animals that you might see. There are always snakes, geese and rabbits in the bushes as you walk up some of the trails. Sometimes if you're lucky you will spy a deer or family of deer in the distance. Its a nice spot to have a quiet picnic with friends and family, and there is a lake with large rocks that you can sit on and just take in nature there. When I come, I usually walk the trails since it gives me a chance to just clear my head and think about things. A plus to the trails are you can take you dogs, they have water fountains along the trails that you can fill up your dogs dish once they get tired from all the walking/running, or you can fill up your water bottles. read more

COVID has certainly expanded my knowledge of local parks, and I'm sad that it took me so long to find Tyler State Park. It always seems to well attended, so you won't feel alone, but not overcrowded either (except around the boathouse sometimes!). Seemingly a popular area for horse riding, the park also features a fairly large frisbee golf course, picnic areas, modern bathrooms, boat rentals, children's playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, a small community theater and an arts center. The walk or bike ride from the boathouse and dam out to Schofield Ford Covered Bridge is a beautiful trip with your choice of following an easy, wide paved trail or a more rustic trail right along the west bank of the Neshaminy Creek, both of which provide lovely views of the creek and surrounding wildlife and landscape. While I'm sad that it took me so long to finally make my way over to Tyler State Park, I'll make sure to make up for the time I missed there in the near future. read more

Lots to do here! Hiking, fishing, horseback riding, picnicking, barbequing, biking, etc. Great for dogs. Went on a hike along Neshaminy Creek yesterday in perfect hiking weather. The trail was a few miles long one way and it was easy. Parking lot and restrooms near beginning of the trail. There were lots of spots along the trail where you could rest and enjoy the view of the creek. read more

Tyler State Park is great to eaither fish or take the kids to enjoy a nice bike ride and even to just walk the trails and enjoy the day with the family. Can even bring a grill along and enjoy a nice picnic with a bunch of people. They have nice size tables set up. Can even pay to canoe on the creeks. They have nice clean bathroom all around the park. You can bring your dog along to run around in the creek and stay cool on a hot summer day. And there is a playground for the kids to play at with a water fountin. There is so much to do. So bring your walking shoes, food, fishing rods, bikes, etc and just enjoy a nice time out. And every so often the ice cream man will come around so bring some spare change!!! read more

I've been going to Tyler State Park since I was little enough to climb on the jungle gym. This is probably my favorite park in the area, simply because it has so many trails that spread out in all directions that go on for miles. You can spend an entire day wandering around and still not retrace your steps. Their disc golf course is also a lot of fun, and I suggest anyone in the area to check it out. I was skeptical about trying it, but it's a great way to spend a lazy afternoon with your friends, while also staying somewhat active. Just be prepared that it gets extremely crowded on weekends, especially in the good weather. Plus the views are breath taking. Because I go there so often, sometimes I forget this, but there are views of the creek that are really majestic. One of the best gems in Bucks County, that's for sure. read more

This is my happy place! Beautiful comfortable spaces to walk and bike. It seems as if the layout shields well with shade. Even when it's super windy, there's enough protection due to the trees. There are areas to socialize, or to be alone and see very few people. It's all very Zen read more

I've driven past this park so many times and didn't realize it was even there! Once you turn in and drive down the path, there is a beautiful view of Neshaminy Creek with plenty of picnic benches. The park boasts many different trails that are marked well, and it is heavily trafficked. They also allow people to ride their horses on the trail, so beware of horse droppings! An interesting portion we stumbled upon was a disc golf course. Could be fun for more coordinated people ;). read more

Love this park!! It's absolutely beautiful and so clean. The pups love going here and sniffing around.

This is my favorite state park! It is breathtaking! Every time I come here I cannot believe that I live so close to such a beautiful place! I usually park over by the boat house and go walk over there but there are a ton of other options as well. Over by the boat house there is the water where you find people fishing, children playing, and you see a lot of people having picnics! The best part about this area, though, are all of the dogs you get to meet! I don't have one of my own so it's a good place to come to get your fix! I recommend taking a stroll over on the horse trails right beyond the water. You can get a nice, scenic workout! If you have children, there is a pretty nice playground here in the park as well that has its own parking lot. They also have frisbee golf! read more

What a beautiful park! The park is not labeled as dog friendly off leash. but with well trained pups this park is a beautiful spot for them to play. We came here with a few veterans and dogs to get out in the wilderness and walk and talk. There are so many trails throughout the area and plenty of beautiful spots to sneak off to and enjoy some nature. There are areas to BBQ and restrooms throughout. The park was extremely well maintained. Very clean. We will be back with a larger group for a picnic and some BBQing. It's only about 45 min away from Philadelphia in Bucks County. read more

Such a beautiful park, one of the most scenic around. Lovely atmosphere, plenty of unique trails with beautiful sites. The disc golf course is super fun. I recommend parking near Langhorne Theater so you can see the big dam with the rock wall, it's way more scenic than the one in the front of the park. read more

This is one of my favorite parks in the area. I only ever go here to walk with friends or family but it's really nice because there are a lot of different trails - paved or unpaved. It's also just really pretty all the different fields and you can usually see deer. It's a great place to picnic or to take photos or just to come and relax at. They have poop bags for dog owners and many different pavilions to eat at at , as well as boat rentals (I believe). Be careful after it rains or snows though as paths may be muddy, slightly flooded, or icy. read more

I've been here a lot throughout my life. I love it. I usually come here alone. Awesome place to clear my head when I need a little peace. I love walking the trails and running around in the woods. I always end up seeing a ton of deer as well as a bunch of other little creatures. I prefer being here with myself since I feel like I see more. Don't try to stalk me though, I might mace you in the face (kidding, or am I?!). ;D Other than that, it is a super great place for gatherings and families. Endless picnic tables appropriately placed, grilling, fishing, canoeing, geocaching, disc golfing, playgrounding, walking, and even using some clean bathrooms. If you decide not to bring food, you can always hit up the Sycamore Street/State Street area that's just minutes away. read more

What a terrific natural and historic resource Tyler State Park is! Looping trails traversing a hilly topography; good for hiking, biking, walking. Find the old homesteads in the park that reflect what this area looked like in 18th Century rural Pennsylvania, and occupied today by families renting them from Bucks County on long term leases. Discover the beautifully rebuilt covered bridge over Neshaminy Creek, a great place for photos and dreams. Rent a horse for a few hours. Scramble up the foot trails along the narrow streams and get lost in time. In July, find your own secret blackberry patch and pick your own, eating them and tasting their sweet essence. Watch out for the thorns! Rent a canoe and paddle upstream and out of sight of civilization. Jump in the water and cool down. Watch kids swing out over the flow from a rope tied to a high overhanging branch, and Geronimo into the water. Walk along the creek bank and find an arrowhead among the river rock. So much to do, so well utilized by we who know it. Take a deep breath and appreciate the moment. read more

Just to reiterate how lousy the paths are marked, my girlfriend and I got lost and ended up back tracking twice WITH A MAP! Great hike though, my calves are still burning from that killer Dairy Hill! read more

My fiancé and I went to visit shady brook farms to buy some flowers and since we travelled far ( south philly ) to get here , we wanted to explore the area. We felt like looking for nature centers so I got on yelp and found this park. Tyler park is a beautiful place to sit and relax your mind. It has ample of space for kids and pets to run around, the scenic view is incredible. Lots of parking space to park , and space to BBQ. It also has a nice serene nature trail but just make sure to wear some comfortable shoes because you'll be walking up and down jagged terrains , jumping over fallen trees and skipping over river beds. Overall , I would come back here over and over again even if I have to travel far to get here. It's worth the drive. . Lovely park!! read more

As state parks go this has to be one of the best in S. Eastern Pa. Something for everyone here from fishing and canoeing to hiking and biking to disc golf and horseback riding. Many miles of paved trails and many more unpaved that lead thru idyllic woodlands past historic farm houses and streams . I'm blessed to live just about a mile from this treasure. A few things to note : biking only allowed on paved trails and dogs must be leashed at all times .I cannot recommend this park enough.....only complaint is no overnight camping read more

A truly wonderful state park in Bucks County PA. So many paths and trails for walking, hiking, biking, horses, dogs, fishing and just meandering. Great picnic areas for small or large groups. A perfect plein air painters apot. (Always a bonus star in my book). Probably the best dog viewing you will ever find (that includes Central Park NYC). We have lived near here for 18 years and TSP will always be one of our favorite places in Bucks. read more

Tyler is my go to park. It's great for running because of the many trails both paved and off road. It's huge so even if there are a ton of people, you rarely feel overwhelmed. Plenty of different ways to take so be careful...you could end up all the way down by the community college! The park is always clean and the restrooms (when they are open) are usually well kept. Definitely a great park for families or even to do yoga (I bring my mat and go to work on the softball field.) read more
