Construction is about to begin on an outdoor stage in the lower portion of Tyler Park.

The new stage will be at the western corner of the park between Tyler Park Drive and Castlewood Avenue. This project is the final stage of a $1.1 million restoration project that the Olmstead Parks Conservancy began in 2018. Earlier phases added a new restroom, refinished the tennis courts, and installed a small parking area to improve accessibility.

Construction will begin as soon as teams finish working on another improvement project at the Chickasaw Park pond. That project began in 2023 and saw the addition of a kayak and canoe launch, new walking paths, and a butterfly garden.

Did you know? The first Forecastle Festival was held in Tyler Park in 2002 — and cost about $500 to produce. Maybe this stage will launch a new LOU staple.
