Let's clear the way for a resilient forest! The Tarrywile Park Authority invites you to the 2025 Invasive Vines Cutting Day.
Invasive vines continue to threaten the biodiversity of our natural spaces, outcompeting native plants, strangling trees, and disrupting our ecosystems. Join us for a hands-on introductory experience in plant identification and the effective removal and management of invasive species.
Volunteer with us to help protect our urban forest and make a lasting impact on our community's green spaces!
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Tarrywile Park.

Hours & Use
The park is open to the public year round, seven days a week from sunrise to sunset (weather permitting) at no charge.
A REQUEST TO ALL BRIDES, GROOMS, LIMOUSINE DRIVERS/COMPANIES AND PHOTOGRAPHERS: If you are considering Tarrywile Park and Mansion as the location for your wedding photos or quick ceremony at the gazebo, please call the office first to ensure that we do not have a wedding already scheduled for that date. Booked rentals at Tarrywile take precedence and you will be asked to leave if there is an event going on that has paid to utilize the area.
Bird Nesting Areas from May 1st through July 15th: Please help us preserve their fragile ecosystem by staying on the roadways and marked trails. The fields will not be mowed during this period.
Thank you for your cooperation.
