Tyger River Park — Attraction in Reidville

Ah, Tyger River Park in Duncan, SC – the place where the grass is green, the skies are blue, and the dad jokes are as plentiful as the foul balls on a Saturday afternoon. Let me tell you, this park is no joke, but that won't stop me from cracking a few!

First off, let's talk amenities with fields** and a championship stadium, this place is like the Disneyland for baseball and softball enthusiasts. It's got everything you need to hit a home run with the family – and I'm not just talking about the batting cages. The park is so well-equipped, you'd think they were preparing to host the World Series. And let's be real, any park that can handle my kids' energy is a major league winner in my book.

Now, I've been around the bases a few times, and I've seen my share of parks, but Tyger River Park? It's in a league of its own. The fields are so well-maintained, you could almost see your reflection in the infield dirt. And the covered bleachers? They're a godsend during those scorching summer games when the sun is playing hardball.

But here's the pitch – it's not just about the sports. This park is a triple threat: great for tournaments, perfect for a family picnic, and an ideal spot to just let the kids run around like they've stolen third base. The only thing missing is a team mascot, but I guess that's where us dads come in, right?

Speaking of running, the park is so big, you might need a golf cart to get from one end to the other. I mean, they say it's a walk in the park, but at Tyger River, it's more like a marathon. And if you're anything like my wife, who needs a walker, be prepared for a trek. The accessibility for those with mobility issues is, well, not exactly a home run²[3]. But hey, maybe that's just their way of encouraging a little extra cardio?

Now, let's address the elephant in the room – or should I say, the tiger? The handicapped access from parking could use some work. It's a bit of a journey from the parking lot to the fields, and not the fun kind with a catchy 80's soundtrack. But don't worry, I've got a solution: just call it a 'dadventure' and suddenly it's a bonding experience!

In all seriousness, though, Tyger River Park is a fantastic place to spend a day. Whether you're there to cheer on your little slugger or just enjoy the great outdoors, it's a hit. Sure, there might be a few foul balls when it comes to accessibility, but overall, this park knocks it out of the park.

So, if you're looking for a place to catch a game, catch some rays, or just catch your breath, Tyger River Park is the place to be. Just remember to bring your dad jokes – because at this park, it's always open season for a little pun...

This was my first time at Tyger Park. We were down here for a softball tournament all the way from Boston. I have to tell you, my daughter loved the fields she played on.

Tyger has 12 beautiful softball diamonds. They are set up in clusters of 4 in each cluster similar to the shape of a 4 leaf clover. At the center of each cluster is an attractive central building that easily has some of the nicest bathrooms that you'll find for softball tournaments. Also at each building they have a concession stand with a pretty decent, fast food style menu.

Food consists of burgers, hot dogs, fries and chili. They also have the usual wide selection of drinks, water, candy and snacks as well. Considering where and what your doing, the prices are pretty fair.

The other parts of the park consists of disc golf, walking paths, and some excellent looking playground equipment. They also had a couple large sand boxes too. There is plenty to do without electronics for adults and kids alike if you're looking for some quality outdoor activities.

With all of these things to do, if parking wasn't easily accessible this would all be for naught. That is not the case at Tyger. They balanced all these activities out with plenty of parking for all these things to happen at once.

Tyger uses its 140 acres to its best balance that doesn't make this place seem like a mall parking lot. They have parking on different parts of the park. This makes it pretty easy to park where you need to go, it is more than adequate especially when you have 12 games with 2 teams on each field and another 24 teams waiting and warming up to play the next game.

I know for certain, if we didn't live almost a thousand miles away, this would be a main hangout...

Recently, took my child to the park to enjoy the nice weather Spartanburg finally had in over a week. We had planned to visit and enjoy the amenities. However, upon arrival my child was riding his scooter. Once we got to the play area so he can get off the scooter and play. I was approached by an employee that stated we could not be at the park with scooter. Mind you, there were other kids with scooters in the park and a few other kids with skateboards. Sure a simply park rule no one really notices when arriving. However, other parents did not care or get approached. I told the employee I rather leave but make sure she tells everybody else that too. Since now all of a sudden it is heavily enforced. I told her we would leave but not the park. When left from inside the park, I proceeded to warn a father who had his son on a tiny push bicycle there is a lady telling certain people not to let their children on scooters. The father proceeded inside. Nothing was done or said. So we walked around, I let my son ride is scooter around the park. We walked around and saw a young boy on a scooter inside the park near the baseball field and she did not stop him but when my son accidentally going inside I called to him. When he finally turned around I waved for him to come out. When he did, the employee came up behind me threatening to call the police if we entered the park again. Now mind you there are still kids inside with scooters and skateboards but we’re not approached. This overall experience was not very enjoyable. And no was harmed or ran over from our scooter as the employee was implying over about 3 years...
