Tyler city parks are open sunrise to sunset, and it is unlawful to enter or remain in a park when it is closed. Public trails like Rose Rudman open at 5:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m.
Under Tyler City Code Chapter 8, all public parks owned and operated by the City are open from sunrise until sunset, and it is unlawful to enter or remain within a park or recreation area when it is closed. The City standardized these hours in 2019 (Ord. No. 0-2019-80) to reduce vandalism, replacing a patchwork of closing times. Public trails follow separate posted hours: Rose Rudman, Lindsey, Faulkner, and all other public trails open at 5:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m. Permitted activities, such as a reserved pavilion event, may continue after normal hours within reason. Signage at trailheads posts the applicable times.
Entering or remaining in a Tyler park after sunset, or on a public trail outside posted hours, is a Class C misdemeanor prosecuted in municipal court, with fines up to $500 under City Code Sec. 1-4.
