Tyler is as good as it gets in Bucks County. The paved trails are great for biking and walking. There is a great covered bridge for all you photogs out there. You can canoe on the creeek or go horseback riding. They have a stable with boarded horses that you can "rent" to ride. Take it from me though....wear pants when riding. If you have a water loving dog like me, you will have the most fun with your furry friend at Tyler. The Nashminy Creek by the boat house is a great place to take your pup for a dip because the water is shallow and very cool. read more

This park is beautiful. We came to walk a few trails and have lunch, and we will definitely make the trip to come back. If you are planning on navigating by GPS, use Tyler State Park's address: 101 Swamp Road Newtown, PA 18940. Then, use the signs in the park to navigate to locations in the park. We used google maps to take us to "Tyler State Park" and were brought to a trail that was not a car-friendly entrance. There was a sign for GPS users to reroute to the address mentioned above. read more

I used to come here with my BFF from Jr. High and H.S. back in the day. It was a nice, quiet (and back then) safe park to hang out in. We would walk on the paths. In more recent years (albeit that's still 5-7 years ago) I brought my little dog here. A nice park - and we need those! read more

What a gorgeous park. And admission/parking is free! We had a great time here. They offer everything from picnic areas, playgrounds, hiking trails and more. The scenery is abslutely beautiful. Parking is plentiful and you can choose from several zones to hang out in. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. read more

Fantastic gem near the PA-NJ border that is much larger than I expected. It has a wide variety of hiking/running trails, some paved and others dirt, that range from relatively flat to moderately hilly. A good place if you're alone, because there was invariably someone in sight every few minutes. Besides the covered bridge, other nifty features include the scenic Neshaminy Creek and the boat launch area. My favorites: Dairy Hill trail and the dirt trail along the Neshaminy. I also ran into a number of people on horseback...or their horses' poop. When the weather warms up, I'll look into renting horses for a trail ride. Looked like fun! read more

Tyler is a great park, with lots to offer. It has a long and easy to navigate disk golf course, boat rentals in the summer months, soccer fields, and both paved and wooded paths. Because of the cleanliness of the park, the paved paths are usually full of pedestrians, dog walkers, and bikers. My favorite path is a bit hidden- if you walk past the front of the boat house, you will see tall wheat grass. Right in the center is a dirt path that leads to a quiet, wooded area with a long trail that follows the creek. There is a wonderful swimming area towards the end of this path. Please note that the rope swing tree, noted in Gerald S.'s comment below has been removed. There is still a cliff area that one could jump off of, but it's very rocky. read more

Lace up your running shoes. Hit the track, then turn your music down and let the sounds of nature fill your ears. The crunch of your feet hitting the path, the songs of birds filling the air; this is your little piece of running/biking heaven a stones-throw from the city limits. Get away from it all, without having to get away from it all. -SZ read more

Great place to go for a run, walk, picnic you name it!!! Being an avid runner and in the suburbs it is hard for me to find a place where I can let loose and enjoy the scenery. Running around the block has become to boring for me! Tyler State Park was just what I needed. There are multiple trails, that range from flat to hilly. Its nice to have paved trails, as it is easier on your feet then the graveled trails that you normally see around the area. Great place for pets and kids, thou certain areas are more congested than others, the park is bigger enough to get lost in the moment read more

Usually busy (especially on weekends!) But that's because it's a great park! Lots of paved walking trails so no worries if you don't want to get muddy, but there are also a few actually trails. Most of the walks take you by water so beautiful views all around. If it's rained recently there's a chance the bridge is flooded out, which limits access to parts of the park, but there are still areas to walk. read more

I just discovered this park recently and was so glad that I did. It is a bit far to travel to this park from center city but well worth it if you are looking to spend some time in nature and are getting tired of the Wissahickon trail. The park is well maintained with ample parking and lots of things to do. It is a great place to go for a run, walk,or to have a picnic. There are various trails and beautiful views. This is also a great place to go to experience the changing of the leaves. read more

What a great place to go for a walk/hike. This park is absolutely gorgeous and is a great place to shoot photos! I was here earlier today and was surprised to see so many people riding horses all around the park. I will definitely have to look into going riding there! I've been here a handful of times in just about every season and the place never fails to take my breath away with its beauty. I highly recommend all you nature-lovers out there looking for a good place to explore to check it out! read more

I'm not really sure why Tyler Park requires a Yelp page but I'll go with it. We are lucky to have such a beautiful park in our backyard. Lots of trails, lots to do. We would BBQ here often as teens. Parks are nice. My dog loves to swim here. We have taken many family photos here as it's a perfect backdrop. read more

A favorite for weekends morning runs Just beautiful and peaceful Love to live so close to this park read more

Great park! Lots of space. They have disc golf, trails to hike, and they're by a creek. If you like parks and outside recreation then I suggest making it a point to get to Tyler State Park sometime! Just watch out though, it gets pretty crowded on Saturday and Sunday afternoons! read more

I love Tyler Park. Have been going there my whole life, although I think I appreciate it more now. I consistently get lost on the trails, but always manage to find my way back. Lots of options for hiking, both paved and un-paved. I kind of wish you were allowed to swim in the creek. The water is really inviting after a long summer run, but otherwise its a great park with lots of things to do, and nature to see. read more

Came here over thanksgiving weekend with my family. We had to leave because every bathroom at the park was locked for thanksgiving weekend and we were with my elderly grandparents. Put a huge damper on the day because we didn't get to walk the whole park and they need to have access to a bathroom. Really disappointed about this, since there aren't many activities one can do during COVID. read more

Awesome trails and great fishing. Start your hike at the causeway, turn right...follow the trail for about 3 miles, its's a loop with several elevation changes. ,,takes about an hour. read more

Beautiful and huge park. Great for jogging, walking, taking pictures, walking your dog, bringing your family, or overall just exploring. read more

The wife and I only walked to the covered bridge which was worth the short walk down a trail. If I had more time I'd like to check out the entire park. Worth stopping by if passing through the area. read more

Tyler State Park - Bridge - Hiking Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Tyler Park = love. So many memories of this place from when I was super little to middle school, high school, and (now that I've moved away), when I go back to Newtown to visit. There are paved trails are great for bikers, (dog)walkers, and runners. For runners and horse back riders, there are lots of actual trails. I love exploring the park, and jumping in the creek after a run on a hot day! read more

Nicest park around. Want a nice place to bring you kids? It's perfect. Great for running and hiking, and it's big enough to keep coming back and see new things every trip. Lots of paved and unpaved trails to explore. Nice spot to fish, and it's one of the top disc golf courses in the country. Worth a drive read more

I know every trail by heart. I've been coming here since middle school and visit at least once a week for a run or walk with friends. The scenery highlights the beauty of bucks county and doesn't require a circuitous drive to pennsyltucky. It's only 5 minutes from the borough so there's no excuse not to check out the rolling hills, frisbee golf course, and endless horse trails. Be sure to see the historic covered bridge. Loses one star for frequent suicides and crowds on warm weather days. read more

Incredible park with a wide variety of things to do. Lots of trails and parking to accommodate the large volume of guests on beautiful summer days. There are plenty of restrooms and a disc golf course. Additionally, there horse trails and playgrounds. Great location! read more

I would live in the park if I could, especially during the months of September and October. Absolutely beautiful! I try and go to the park at least once a week. There's always plenty of parking, and a lot of great trails. Always a great "free" option for how to spend your time! read more

I love this park and prefer it to others that are a little closer to home. It is the best place to go for a run or walk at any time of the day. I take my dog here often to jog with me. He gets soooo excited once he realizes we're on our way to Tyler!! It really is a great park! read more

My absolute favorite place to take the kids, dog, or even just get away by myself for a bit. There's fishing, kids can play in the water (although swimming is not allowed, hiking trails, walking path, and you can even rent canoes! read more

Tyler State Park has been an adored attraction of the Bucks County area for years. With the Neshaminy Creek running through the heart of it, Tyler offers a broad range of fun activities to do from hiking and running along the trails, to fishing or canoeing in the water. The park is also heaven on Earth for avid fans of puppies as well (such as myself)... And for the dogs too of course. Overall, Tyler is a great place to spend a warm Spring or Summer day. The only downside is that the parking can sometimes be a nightmare as the park gets crowded and the park itself has limited spaces. Once that hurdle is dealt with though one can expect a great day here! read more

I rated this park a 4 because I want to be objective, and Tyler is a great park, but after going there for almost 30 years, it gets a little old. There are plenty of things to do. Pets are permitted, as are biking and horseback riding. You can also rent a canoe if you're in to that sort of thing. If you're just looking for a walk there are miles and miles of trails, and you can always find your way back to the boathouse if you get lost. read more

Best park in the entire county by far. Waterways flow next to nearly every trail, so much greenery, and lots of trails to choose from. Super clean, including bathrooms. Great for canoeing... and swimming too.Just be sure to evade the park pigs and Bucks County Community College security in the one part of the park. This place is worth the drive even if you're a half hour away or more. Just be courteous and don't throw your trash away on the ground on trails, etc. I want to rip people's heads off who do this. Don't turn this place into Pennypack! read more

I've newly uncovered a deep appreciation for this park which prior I had only scratched it woodsy surface! Biking, hiking walking, running, canoeing and horseback riding are all at your beckoning, you need only make the effort. read more

This is a huge beautiful park. There are a lot of trails to choose from to walk, hike, ride a horse or bike. There are also canoe rentals, disc golf and more but we came here to walk/hike with our pup. I am glad we were with a group that was familiar with the trails because you could get lost the place is so huge. I little more signage would be helpful. read more

Absolutely love living so close to this park. It's large enough that I find there's always new things to do and paths to explore. It's such a peaceful and beautiful place to go, especially when it's warm out. Great to bring kids or pets here - in general great for everyone of all ages! read more

Tyler state park may be one of my favorite parks in the US. A clean, natural environment good for running and walking around. I do not recommend biking here unless its made for trails considering all of the sticks and leaves lying around. Being a Trail Running expert, and having run through Chicago's running trails, and some in Florida...Tyler State offers a competitive running path that has steep hills and turns. Though this park also offers some decent wild-life...expect to see some deer here. read more

I heart Tyler park. I try to go there almost every nice weekend for a nice long stroll with my dog - there's always tons of other dogs there and he loves to say hello and occasionally take a dip in the water! The trails seem endless but it's a great workout and very scenic. Sometimes you'll see an occasional baby deer or fox which is pretty cool. I always see people riding horses through the park, which I would love to do one of these days. Now to just find out where they are coming from.......? read more

Great park all around a lot to explore great for family, by yourself or with your dog. Park is kept clean and waters are stocked with fish. For some reason a younger park ranger seems to follow people for no reason whatsoever. Kind of creepy luckily he is rarely there. read more

Tyler Park is one of the most amazing parks in the area. I used to ride my horse in the park everyday. They have amazing trails and the park is peaceful and just wonderful to ride in. Even if you don't have a horse you can walk the exercise trails. Take your dog for a walk. Many things to do. Highly recommend it. read more

One of the best places to run in the northern suburbs. Miles and miles of hilly trails without having to stop for traffic. And I you are a regular in the Bucks County Road Runners club, then you are bound to see club members in the park anytime you're there. read more

I came back for a course at Bucks County Community College and i enjoyed it. There's also a trail that starts in the front parking lot of BUCKS county community college. The horseback riders calmed down and the canoe rental isn't as hay wire. I love the hostel. read more

Was running in the park 2day with my daughter who wants to make the school field hockey team... she will make it... I just know it! Tyler is a great park for running... fishing or bike riding... these are my 3 favorite! read more

My husband and I absolutely love coming to Tyler park. It's our Sunday walk. The park is clean and big. Many paths to explore and quiet. We enjoy riding our bikes and hanging by the dam. Anyone looking for a quiet retreat try Tyler park! read more
