A multitude of picnic areas are scattered around the park. Bring your own food and drinks and have a nice barbecue with the family. Barbecue pits are located in the dam area as well as the picnic/playground area in the park. Restrooms are conveniently located near all picnic areas. This is a pet-friendly park, so bring your dogs as well.
Tyler Park Fire Pit/Picnic Area |
One of my favorite aspects of Tyler Park is the fire pit. It is great all year round to enjoy. In the summer you can roast marshmallows while watching kayaks and canoes ride by on the Neshaminy Creek.
Tyler Park is a fishing-friendly area. The main pavilion (follow signs through park) is where most of the fishing occurs. Not everyone may be fish lovers, so keep in mind that the canoe/kayak rental is in the same area as the fishing if some want to boat instead. More importantly for the kids, the main pavilion area is where the Ice Cream Man makes a stop usually everyday during the hazy, hot days of summer. Who doesn't love ice cream?
If you visit Tyler Park during the winter, you may think there is nothing to do. Not true. Many winter activities to get involved in such a cross-country skiing, ice fishing, ice skating and sledding. Of course, these activities require the proper weather. Check the winter report before you venture out.
So, who loves disc golfing? Tyler Park is the perfect location to hone your disc golfing skills to perfection. The park offers a 27-hole course with the objective of the game being to get the frisbee into the net with as few tries as possible.
Of course, there is also horseback riding that is available for kids, beginners and advanced riders. Before you plan your visit to Tyler Park, take a look at the Things to Do page and the Calendar of Events so you do not miss out on any activities.

One of the most fun warm-weather activities at Core Creek is the paddle boat rentals (Open May - September). The park also offers kayak, canoe, paddleboat and rowboat rentals, and you can also bring your own small boat for the lake. Take the family for a scenic paddle boat ride while getting some exercise at the same time.
