Adopted Parks

Temple Parks & Recreation staff work diligently to provide citizens with clean, attractive, and well maintained areas. Due to the large number of parks in Temple, it is difficult to keep each park in top condition at all times. We are very thankful for all the help from our wonderful community members and organizations that help us maintain and enhance our parks!

Adopt-A-Park groups help inform parks staff of issues or wants for their park and also organize park work days, cleaning up, planting plants and trees, and other projects to maintain or enhance their park.
