Temple Parks & Recreation works 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, clean up, plant trees and plants,

and complete other projects to help maintain or enhance their parks.

ART IN THE PARK PROGRAM!

The Temple Parks Foundation Art in the Park Program is a community effort to connect our park system and public areas with visual arts. Sculptures adorn neighborhood parks, community byways, and local businesses to remind our citizens young and old to enjoy their environment and stay young at heart. Donations of any size accumulate and allow the Foundation to purchase additional pieces of art as funds become available. The Art in the Park Program is another great way to memorialize a parent, child, or grandparent in the community which we celebrate.

MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM: Honor, Celebrate, Memorialize! The City of Temple Parks & Recreation Department maintains 60+ parks and recreation areas, totaling more than 700 acres. The Memorial Tree Program is your opportunity to pay a long-lasting tribute to an individual or occasion by planting a tree in his or her honor. At the same time, your donation will enhance your favorite park and support the Temple Parks Foundation. Commemorate a graduation, birth, passing, wedding, anniversary or any special recognition. For more information call 254-298-5690 for details!

FOUNDATION MISSION The mission of the Temple Parks Foundation is to increase awareness, quality and usability of parks and green space by expanding the resources made available to our city parks to enhance community health and cohesiveness.
