Noble E. Young Park

A Piece of Tyler's Outdoor Life

Positioned in Tyler, Texas, Noble E. Young Park spreads across a generous 77.9 acres of land that beckons both active adventurers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The park features a 1.2-mile concrete trail that loops around the entire grounds. At 8 feet wide, there's plenty of room for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and runners to share the path. What makes this trail especially pleasant is the canopy of mature pine trees providing much-needed shade, so you can get your steps in without melting in the Texas heat.

Get Your Game On

For those interested in physical activities, Noble E. Young offers several options. The full basketball court invites pickup games and solo practice sessions alike. For the two-wheeled enthusiasts, the children's bike park offers ramps and obstacles where young riders can build confidence and skills. This bike course is popular with families whose children are developing their cycling skills.

Disc golf more your speed? The park's 9-hole disc golf course weaves through wooded areas, creating natural challenges that keep both beginners and seasoned players coming back for more.

Take a Breather

Not every park visit needs to be high-energy. Noble E. Young offers plenty of spots to relax and recharge, including a covered pavilion well-suited for gatherings and picnic tables scattered thoughtfully around the grounds. The little ones can burn off energy at two playgrounds designed with different age groups in mind - one for the younger crowd and another with more challenging equipment for older kids.

When nature calls or thirst strikes, you'll come across two restroom facilities and water fountains with refreshingly cold water. For those who prefer their workouts in the fresh air, the park features an outdoor workout gym with covered equipment to protect you from the elements.

Natural Charm

What makes Noble E. Young special is its setting. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood and blanketed by the shade of towering pine trees, there's a tranquility here that's hard to find elsewhere. These natural canopies create perfect spots for family picnics, even when the Texas sun is showing off. The balance of open grassy fields and wooded areas gives the park a diverse landscape that never feels monotonous.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog owners, rejoice! Your furry companions are welcome at Noble E. Young. The park thoughtfully provides dog waste stations with bags, making it easy to be a responsible pet parent. The shaded walking paths are as comfortable for paws as they are for feet, making this a go-to spot for daily dog walks year-round.

Good to Know

The park never closes, operating 24 hours a day, with two parking lot locations that make getting in and out a breeze. For added peace of mind, cameras are installed across the grounds, allowing for police monitoring. Recent renovations have updated the park's amenities, making Noble E. Young popular with both Tyler locals and visitors from across East Texas.
