About the Location
Trail System
Southside Park features a 0.5-mile trail that connects to the larger Rose Rudman Recreational Trail system, providing residents and visitors with opportunities for walking, jogging, and biking.
The hike and bike trails offer opportunities for exercise and nature appreciation throughout the park.
Facilities
The park offers a variety of facilities for community use, including picnic areas, restrooms, and pavilions. A large playground area is a central feature of the park, providing a space for children to play and explore.
In 2019, new ADA-accessible playground equipment was installed, thanks to the efforts of Tyler Area Ambucs, making the park more inclusive for children of all abilities.
Recreation Options
Southside Park is designed to cater to diverse recreational needs, featuring both active and passive areas. While the trails provide exercise opportunities, the picnic areas and open spaces allow for relaxation and social gatherings.

Southside Park is located just south of the intersection of Shiloh Road and Donnybrook Avenue in Tyler, Texas.
Parking is available on the street adjacent to the park and in a dedicated parking lot on the far south side of the park, accessible from Rieck Road. This arrangement provides convenient access for visitors arriving by car.
The park is open daily from 6AM to 12AM, with the City of Tyler Parks and Recreation Department maintaining Southside Park to ensure it remains a clean and safe environment for community enjoyment.
