Confirmed from Rose Rudman Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreational trail through forested terrain with playground equipment & grassy areas.
What runners say about Rose Rudman Park
“Lots of families with their kids both playing in the well-maintained park playground, and on the trails.”
“I think this is one of the prettiest parks I have ever been to…… beautiful walking/ biking trail….”
“The park is awesome, it’s peaceful, quiet, has great trails.”
This park is absolutely beautiful. It has a stunning walking, biking, running trail that runs beside a flowing creek. The playground for the kids is the biggest and best I’ve ever seen and is still growing. I love this park.
Great park with very maintained trails, great for biking, walking, running, and work outs, all along the trails they have workout equipment, water fountains (for pets as well) picnic tables, and areas for bicycle repair. The trails are very long so you can easily spend a full day walking around.
A nicely wooded park with trails in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Tyler. The area has a lot to offer for pedestrians and bicyclists alike. Most of the trails follow the creek here. Morning during the summer is the best time when it's much cooler and the path is shaded most of the way.
My favorite park in Tyler. The walking path is diverse in landscapes and is accessible to everyone. Lots of different wildflowers, trees, and even critters. I've spotted rabbits, tons of birds, squirrels, and even an owl. Snakes too, so pay attention. The park has places to venture off the regular concrete path.
