Fit FactStay hydrated even when the temperatures

cool down . People often feel less thirsty

when it is not hot outside, but staying

hydrated is just as important in the fall as

it is when the sun a blazing down . When

fall rolls around, remember to stay on top of

your fluid intake to help with both exercise

recovery and appetite control .

Benefits of TreesThe benefits of trees go well beyond their emotional or subjective value, which in itself is significant, but there are other benefits that need to be considered. The environmental and financial benefits of urban trees are important too.

Air QualityTrees help us clean the air. Tree leaves absorb dirty air and removes pollutants. Particulate pollution like dust is deposited on the leaves. Plus, trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen for us to breathe.

Trees cool the air by releasing moisture in to the air by a process called transpiration.• 100 trees remove 5 tons of carbon dioxide per

year

• 100 trees remove approximately 1000 lbs. of pollutants per year including

• 400 lbs of ozone

• 300 lbs of particulates

Water QualityLeafy tree canopies catch rainfall before it reaches the ground, allowing some of it to gently drip and the rest to evaporate. Tree roots hold soil in place so that it is not washed away in rain storms. Water is cleaned as it passes through the roots and into the groundwater, and we can save water on irrigation when there is a tree shading the lawn that we water.

• 100 mature trees can catch up to 100,000 gallons of water per year

• Decrease polluted runoff

• Decrease soil and hill erosion

Energy SavingsBy strategically planting the correct species of trees around our houses and businesses we can save real dollars in cooling and heating bills. The shade from trees on our buildings is particularly important because it helps reduce peak energy consumption at the hottest time of the day. And trees properly placed around buildings as windbreaks can save significant heating costs during the winter months.

• Save up to 30% on cooling cost

• Save 10-25% on heating costIn addition, trees cool entire neighborhoods by releasing moisture into the air and shading surfaces like streets and parking lots that hold heat in the sun.

Property ValuesLandscaping, especially with trees can significantly increase property values. Houses in tree lined neighborhoods sell for a premium – especially in Texas. Property values of landscaped homes are 5% to 20% higher than those of non-landscaped homes.

• Each large front yard tree can add 1% to the sales price

• Large specimen trees can add 10% or more to property values

Commercial BenefitsStudies have shown that trees are good for business. Shoppers will search for that one shaded parking space on hot summer days, and shops located in cool and shady shopping districts see the influence by

• More frequent shopping

• Longer shopping trips

• Shoppers spend more for parking

• Shoppers spend 12% more for goods and services

Trees are an important part of community infrastructure and vital to our personal and environmental health. They are a legacy that we plant and leave for many generations, impacting our city with a better quality of life, a better business climate, and an enhanced sense of place.

All Access Playground Receives New Shade Structure In July, the Rotary Club of South Temple All Access Playground in Lions Park received a new shade structure so children and families can play without worry of too hot playground equipment. The shade structure was funded by several sources. The Temple Parks Foundation applied for and received a Carpenter Foundation grant of $20,000. The Rotary Club of Temple South donated $15,000 for the shade struc-ture. In March 2012, Summit Family Fit-ness Center’s team of certified Zumba in-structors held a Zum-bathon Party to help raise money. Temple Parks and Leisure Services agreed to fund the remainder from park dedication fees and operating funds.

Raising Funds to Build an Outdoor Amphitheater The Temple Parks Foundation hosted a fundraising event in July, Texas Dance Hall Concert & Barbecue, to raise funds to build an outdoor amphitheater at Lion’s Park. Thanks to everyone that joined us for this wonderful event! We are much closer to constructing the amphitheater!

Fit FactDeal with darkness . The best way to enjoy fall is to exercise outdoors . But it is getting darker earlier, and staying dark later in the morning, so be smart and safe . If walking or running outdoors, wear a reflective vest and carry a flashlight . When cycling, affix a light to your helmet or bike . If possible, use trails or a local school track to avoid vehicle traffic . Try to work out at the same time every day, so drivers get used to seeing you .

Adopt A Park The City of Temple encompasses parks, gardens, and trails. These areas provide our community with an enhanced quality of life through recreational spaces, picnic spots, ex-ercise opportunities, and community gather-ing areas.

Temple has a remarkable 58 developed parks and special use areas. The parks supply ani-mal habitat, flood control, climate control and oxygen producing trees. These features are vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle for our community. Parks, gardens, and trails also help attract businesses to our area which im-proves Temple’s economy. Temple’s Parks and Leisure Services Department works diligent-ly to provide citizens with clean, attractive, and well maintained areas. Due to the number of parks in Temple, it is difficult to keep each park in its top condition at all times. With your enthusiasm, willingness, and effort we can keep Temple’s parks in prime condition. This program is fun, easy and rewarding.

We ask the following of each adopter:

• Each group/individual must fill out one Adopt-A-Park partnership form

• Each participant needs to fill out and return a release form before the workday date

• Each group needs one contact person

• Each group/individual should volunteer in the park at least 3 days out of the year

• The first workday will need to be scheduled with an Adopt-A-Park staff

• Volunteer hours need to be tracked and submitted to the Parks and Leisure Services Administration Office

A sign will be placed in an adopter’s park to recognize the groups/individuals. Temple Parks and Leisure Services Adopt-A-Park Program would like to thank our adopt-ers for their dedication, involvement, and hard work. These people have made a commitment to help maintain Temple’s parks. We encour-age all Temple residents and organizations to help beautify our city by adopting a park!

For more information or to adopt a park, please call 254.298.5774.
