Tyler State Park is home to many different species of birds thank to the diversity of habitats, including mature forests and maintained grassland.

Tyler State Park contains a 36-hole disc golf course, a community theater, an art center, several picnic areas, a children's playground, and many miles of hiking and walking trails.

The Lenape lived in small villages along the Neshaminy Creek, where they raised crops and practiced agroforestry.

Tradition states that during the Treaty of Shackamaxon, possibly in 1682, William Penn began formal relations with the Lenape and afterward, land transfers to European colonists.

The original stone homes in the park are fine examples of early rural Pennsylvania farm dwellings.

The Tylers upgraded many of the farms with plumbing and electricity, and many of the farmers hired where allotted to stay in the homes rent free.

[4] The course is considered challenging and the BCDGA often hosts tournaments and leagues; participants bring their own discs to play.

The arts center offers classes, workshops, daytime summer camps, and cultural events.

During the winter months, the plant hardiness zone is 7a with an average annual extreme minimum air temperature of 0.5 °F (−18 °C).

Ice storms and large snowstorms depositing ≥ 12 inches (30 cm) occur once every few years, particularly during nor’easters from December through February.

[8] The forested areas have been impacted by invasive insects like the emerald ash beetle and the spotted lanternfly.

The management directive for Tyler State Park includes allowing for some of the land to be leased as farmland; however, there are also acers set aside as maintained pollinator meadows and warm season grasslands, which are mowed once per year.

The creek is home to many warm water species including bluegill, black crappie, carp, smallmouth bass, and various other panfishes.

Tyler State Park does not allow visitors to swim in Neshaminy Creek, as per DCNR rules and regulations.

The Neshaminy Creek basin in Bucks and Montgomery counties has tested as "extremely high" for levels of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS).

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission had previously stocked trout in several locations along Neshaminy Creek, including Tyler State Park, but has now stopped due to the contamination.
