Stewart Park

From revitalizing beloved spaces to creating new opportunities for connection, we are committed to enriching our City's parks. Through the development of Stewart Park, Tyler Parks and Recreation is preserving history, expanding recreational opportunities, and strengthening our neighborhoods.

Once a cherished family home, Stewart Park will be the City's 29th park, marking the first time a new park has been added since September 2004. The nine-acre property, located along Frankston Highway (State Highway 155), near Earl Campbell Parkway, was donated by T.B. and Gladys Stewart in 2012. It will be a welcoming community space with new playground equipment, a nature trail, pavilions, and a restroom.

Special care is being given to the original Stewart home, which T.B. Stewart built by hand. The home was a cornerstone of the St. Louis community, where the Stewarts championed education and service. Parts of the house will be repurposed into features highlighted in the park, ensuring a lasting tribute to the family. Stewart Park will also have an outdoor learning area with a small stage and seating for school presentations and community events. Informational signage will share the history of the Stewarts' contributions to the St. Louis community and their dedication to education and service, giving visitors a deeper connection to the park’s legacy.

The park will also serve as a key trailhead for the Legacy Trail extension, a 12-foot-wide reinforced concrete multipurpose trail running through W.E. Winters Park and connecting to Peete Elementary School to seamlessly integrate the trail into Tyler's growing network of outdoor spaces.
