Nice big park. They held a cross country invitational when I was there. There was more than enough parking and space and I think there were nearly 800 runners and some parents in attendance and it was plenty big enough with tons of room to spare.

Tyler State Park is beautiful with many paved surfaces for cyclists as well as hard surfaces for runners, walkers, and hikers. It's especially beautiful in the fall. It's quite kid/family friendly.

Are there any walkways from the parking lot that are not sloped I use a cane and need a flat surface to walk on. I want to get to the benches or picnic tables near the water.

Sally Landers | Oct 19, 2018
Jeff Corn | Oct 19, 2018

Yes there are quite a few parking areas much are easy access for someone of your needs. The boat access is probably the easiest with a nice paved path that is flat and level with benches along the neshaminy creek. A very pleasant walk about a quarter to a half mile each way.

There is no swimming allowed at Tyler State Park. The creek is shallow near the Boathouse areas and we do allow visitors to wade or play in the water there; which is generally safe unless the water levels have risen. Also consider some of the rocks may be sharp. There are no lifeguards, no designated swimming areas, and the water is not tested for quality standards.

Why is the nature trail near the canoe rental not cleared?

Barbara Barsky | Oct 19, 2018
The GoodTime FolkRock Show | Oct 19, 2018

Because the county is cheap......go to the rangers office and complain and they'll clear it . Was there today and found huge branches purposly laid across the trails to discourage Mountain biking which messes up the trails most likely put there by the horseback riding stables which are NOT affilliated with the park system ......i was ready to complain myself. Its the forest reangers responsibility to keep the nature trails clear.
