Tyrrell Park Stacks Beaumont's Outdoor Life in One Place

Beaumont's official pages put a remarkable amount in one park. Tyrrell Park holds Cattail Marsh and its wetlands education center, a free disc golf course (the marsh center even loans discs), a free archery range, regular nature programs, and the city's Henry Homberg Golf Course — an 18-hole municipal course that's been there since the 1930s.

That mix is what makes the park such a good shorthand for Beaumont's outdoor life. It isn't one trail or one ballfield. Birding, casual sports, golf, and marsh learning all sit a short drive apart, which means a family can find very different ways to spend a Saturday in the same place.

Rates, rentals, and program calendars change, so check the city's recreation and Cattail Marsh pages before a visit. Those official pages are the place to confirm the details.
