The Jackson Park Neighborhood District is very well known in the Temple
community. The district includes the Hillcrest Cemetery, which is one the
community’s most iconic features. Historians from all around Texas visit the
cemetery regularly to pay homage to local, state and nationally significant
individuals who are interred there. This feeling of historic significance
continues throughout the neighborhood in the unique cottage style
architecture of the homes in this district. The beautiful, tree lined streets
serve to not only lead visitors and residents to Jackson Park, which lies in
the center of the neighborhood, but also seem to provide a preview of the
beauty that awaits them in this stunning central gathering space. Residents
of this neighborhood are very active and can be seen strolling through the
park and along the streets, enjoying their beautiful surroundings.
