Tyler’s city parks are becoming increasingly central to my sense of community in this town. I realize that for most people it’s probably always been this way, and I’m only now noticing it since I’m now an adult and a parent. Here at Tyler TX Directory, we’ve written fairly extensively on the various city parks. Rose Rudman, Bergfield and Faulkner Parks have all graced our pages at one point or another and all are great parks. A number of them have been improved in recent years. One park, on which we’ve not written much, deserves a mention, and that’s Lindsey Park, on Greenbriar road and spur 364. The park has at least five baseball / softball fields, about six or seven different soccer fields and a frisbee golf course. All the facilities are really nicely developed, and well maintained. The park has also recently added some new children’s playground equipment.
I’ve already spent some evenings with my son at this park since the summer started. Even (and perhaps especially), when there’s no one else around, it’s a great place to hit a few balls and run the bases. When that gets old the new swings and jungle gym are a great way to burn off a little excess energy before hitting the showers and heading to bed. So when the kids get rowdy this summer, try visiting this park. You’ll find lots of space to run, and play.

While I live in the Tyler area, my job requires me to drive through Gladewater on a daily basis. For the last week or two, I’ve been reading the banners strung around the town advertising the Gladewater Roundup Rodeo. Held annually since 1938, the Round-up has achieved a fair amount of notoriety in the last few years. The Gladewater Round- up is a non-profit organization that raises money for causes like college scholarships, and breast cancer research. The rodeo includes events for just about every member of the family. A raffle and Jr. Rodeo events are held as well. There are also a couple of events on the Saturday preceding the start of the rodeo. The first is a trail ride that begins at eight am, on June second. The second is a Cook off, to be held at noon on the same day. The trail ride is expected to return to the rodeo grounds in time for the Cook- off.
The actual Rodeo will be held on the evenings of June sixth, through the eighth, at eight fifteen in the evening. Tickets go on sale May twenty eighth, and run from twelve to fourteen dollars depending on whether you’re purchasing class A or class B tickets. Children are half price at the gate. For those interested in equestrian and rodeo events, this could be a great way to kick off the summer. The fact that the proceeds go to great causes, only adds to event. For more information click on the following links, or call their office at (903) 845-5126 on or after May twenty eighth. http://gladewaterrodeo.com/index.php/en/ticket-information http://www.facebook.com/gladewaterrounduprodeo
