During the summer months, the smell of picnic foods float through the air at Reservoir Park, as families fill the park with happy laughing people and picnic baskets brimming with goodies. Reservoir Park is one of Tyrone’s most beautiful landmarks. The thirty-three acre tract of land on which the park was built was donated by one of Tyrone’s most outstanding citizens, A. A. Stevens.The beauty of the land and trees is preserved the way God created them.

Every Saturday and Sunday the tables, reserved months in advance, are filled with family reunions and picnics. The Tyrone Borough maintains swings and rides for the children, and well cared for tables and fireplaces dot the park. There is a large wooden pavilion, still located there, that housed two dances a week for the young people of Tyrone from the 1930’s – 1960’s. Reservoir Park has been a historical part of Tyrone and has been well maintained throughout the years.
