I recently visited Bergfeld Park, a place I've cherished since childhood, and it was just as wonderful as I remember, now bringing my nephews along for the fun. This park truly is a gem, offering something for everyone.
The playground facilities are fantastic, with a wide array of options that cater to both young children and teenagers, ensuring endless entertainment. The splash pad, while basic, is clean and provides a refreshing escape that the kids absolutely adore. One of the best aspects of Bergfeld Park is the abundance of shaded spots, perfect for enjoying a leisurely picnic or simply relaxing on a blanket. There's also plenty of open green space for throwing a ball around or just letting the kids run free.
The park is incredibly well-kept and clean, which makes for a very pleasant experience. I noticed a nice sidewalk loop around the park, ideal for a stroll or a walk. It's a great location for community gatherings, as evidenced by past events like Easter celebrations with vendors and food. While street parking can sometimes be limited, it's a minor drawback compared to the overall positive experience. Despite occasionally seeing police officers interacting with individuals, the park maintains a family-friendly atmosphere. Overall, Bergfeld Park remains a highly recommended spot for its diverse amenities, beautiful upkeep, and welcoming...
Read moreIf you're visiting the Tyler area with kids, a visit at this park is a must! Located in the historic Azalea district, this park offers plenty of space; perfect for kids to play on the playground, to rest under a tree and have a picnic, or run around the grass areas. The playgrounds/play structures are located between an upper and the lower level. The upper level contains a couple of spinning pieces of equipment, playground with slides for toddlers, swings, monkey bars, and benches and picnic tables. On the lower level there is a tall playground for older kids, a big spinning web type structure, and extra monkey bars. Upper and lower level are connected by slides and interesting rock formations. There is a restroom on site as well as a water fountain. The green part of this park is very spacious and well-kept. Enough space to play a ball or throw a frisbee. Beautiful, tall trees provide enough shade. A creek runs through the park giving it even more character. There is an outdoor theater as well where events take place. Another perk of this park is that it has a paved...
Read moreSuch lush, green grass and loads of shade provided by the trees. With plenty of tables to sit and play games, read a book, or just chat with buds, hmm, pure natural delight. Gratefully there are pup bag dispensers so ones can be responsible and clean up after their 4-legged family member. The park is very clean, especially considering how popular it is with the well-maintained tennis courts, kids play area and open air amphitheater. Granted, a homeless lady takes responsibility for the park, picking up whatever litter she may encounter and park visitors in kind take care of bringing her food, water, items she can use, to show their appreciation. This is a wonderfully surprising visit I encourage everyone to experience. It's on the main drag of Broadway, so during the last month of my 3 year stay in Tyler, I decided to finally stop and do just that, and ever so thankful my pups and I did. Even with the touch of a crick running through the park, a small bridge over which to meander, so fantastic all the appreciative...
