The Tyler Parks and Recreation Department is committed to providing beautiful parks, trails and leisure activities to residents. The City of Tyler, along with Tyler State Park and UT Tyler trails, features more than 60 miles of trails for walking, running and biking throughout the City, as well as disc golf courses and much more. Our goal is to encourage a fit city, and the trails are just one of the many resources available to residents and visitors.
