Tyrrell Park

The Beaumont 9/11 Memorial at Tyrrell Park is a garden and memorial space in Beaumont, Texas, dedicated to honoring the victims and heroes of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It serves as a place for community members to gather for reflection and to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, particularly the courageous first responders.

Beautiful and serene! There are plenty of walking trails, birds and plants to see and many alligators during the warm months. Grab a lunch and make a day of it!

I recently explored a spot very close to Tyrrell Park, and it turned out to be such an amazing experience! The area features a charming small botanical garden, a peaceful fountain, and a lovely pond tucked away at one end of the park. There’s even a golf course for those who enjoy a game in a scenic setting. What really stood out to me was the viewpoint at the far end of the park—you can spot alligators and a variety of bird species from there. It’s a great place for wildlife lovers and photographers alike. One of the best parts was the walking trail that loops around the swamp area, stretching about 3 to 4 miles. Walking through it, I had the rare chance to see alligators up close in their natural habitat. The whole vibe of the place is calm, exciting, and perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying nature on your own. Definitely recommend this hidden gem if you’re around the Tyrrell Park area!

It's a beautiful park so I was surprised I didn't see more people enjoying it. My only complaint is that I intended to run a loop around the trail as the trailhead suggested I had multiple loops to choose from. But at the pipeline the trail abruptly ended and, after going back to do the smallest loop, the trail was completely flooded and seems like it may always be flooded. Also, at one point there was a large downed tree blocking the trail. It seems like the trail is not really maintained.

Love this place. A beautiful park to have some much needed time with loved ones or just a needed break from the daily grind. Theres golf, horses, a conservatory and so much more. My fiancee and i have even decided to have our wedding there. Its the perfect place to say "i do".

I stopped here while traveling through Beaumont, Texas. I was talking to a local person who said this park is the best thing to do in Beaumont, and I totally agree. There is golf, and a marshland boardwalk , a walking garden and a conservatory. A beautiful place to visit!

Spent time in the Cattail Marsh Wetlands, a wonderful bird sanctuary and environmental asset. Also the botanical garden. Thanks for providing a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors. We sure need it these days. Loved the painted picnic tables at the wetlands, a true art surprise.
