2015 has been a very exciting one for the Temple Parks

& Recreation Department. I would like to take this time to

personally thank the citizens of Temple and the many local

community groups for their outpouring of support for their

park system over the last few months. With the passage of

the new Parks Bond this past May, our vision for the future

of Temple’s parks is now a reality. We are going to be able to

continue off ering the parks, facilities, and amenities the citizens

of Temple want and deserve. It is a time to truly be thankful.

As the autumn months are ushered in and the days get

cooler, the fun is just heating up at Temple Parks & Recreation.

From Haunted Hayrides to Christmas Parades, the next few

months are packed full of special events and activities to help

get you outdoors and excited for the upcoming holiday season!

Want to connect? Don’t forget to visit us online at

Until next year, I will see you outside.
