Hike and Bike Trails Jackson Park Trail

Jackson Park Trail is located in one of Temple’s oldest parks. It was constructed with funding from a Community Development Block Grant.

The trail is approximately ½ a mile and is looped within the park. The grant also provided a new playground, benches and a pavilion.

Jackson Park Trail is made of pervious concrete, a type of concrete that allows water to filter through versus running off. This is a great environmental practice as it allows water to enter the ground more readily rather than quickly running off into the nearby creek. Quick runoff lessens water quality by increasing sedimentation and other types of pollutants.

We invite you to take a walk along this quaint trail and see all this historic park has to offer.

Hi Lo Cardio Free to Summit Members! Is Hi-Lo Aerobics for you? It certainly is. Exercise enthusiasts can personalize the style of their workouts by making choices along the way on what feels best during the activity. The “Hi” portion of the workout requires both feet to leave the ground while performing step, pivoting, jumping and twisting moves that improve muscle toning, strength, agility and balance. The “Lo” portion of the workout keeps one foot firmly planted on the floor to improve balance, while enjoying less of an impact on bones and joints. Participants choose between Hi or Lo during the movement as their body and fitness levels dictate.

The end result is a challenging workout for everyone, including the long-time fitness enthusiast and the beginner!

When I go to class, I feel good knowing that she is exercising while having fun. Last week I gave her a choice of going to her grandmother’s house or coming with me to the gym and she said, ‘Oh, I can’t cancel my workout at the gym – it’s too much fun!’

Fall is for Planting Fall is an excellent time to add trees to your landscape with the heat of summer gone and the cooler and wetter days of fall arriving. Fall conditions allow for establishment of new roots. By following these 8 simple planting steps you will give your new tree a head start on a long and productive life.

1.

Dig a shallow, broad planting hole.

Make the hole wide, as much as three times the diameter of the root ball but only as deep as the root ball. On most planting sites in new developments, the existing soils have been compacted and are unsuitable for healthy root growth.

Breaking up the soil in a large area around the tree provides the newly emerging roots room to expand into loose soil to hasten establishment.

2.

Identify the trunk flare.

The trunk flare is where the roots begin to spread at the base of the tree. This point should be partially visible after the tree has been planted. If the trunk flare is not partially visible, you may have to remove some soil from the top of the root ball. Find it so you can determine how deep the hole needs to be for proper planting.

3.

Place the tree at the proper height.

The majority of the roots on the newly planted tree will develop in the top 12 inches of soil. If the tree is planted too deeply, new roots will have difficulty developing because of a lack of oxygen. It is better to plant the tree a little high, 2 to 3 inches above the base of the trunk flare. This planting level will allow for some settling. To avoid damage when setting the tree in the hole, always lift the tree by the root ball and never by the trunk.

4.

Straighten the tree in the hole.

Before you begin backfilling, have someone view the tree from several directions to confirm that the tree is straight.

5.

Fill the hole gently but firmly.

Fill the hole about one-third full and gently but firmly pack the soil around the base of the root ball. Then if the tree is balled and burlapped, cut and remove the string and wire from around the trunk and the top third of the root ball. Fill the the hole, taking care to firmly pack soil, eliminating air pockets that cause roots to dry out. Add soil a few inches at a time and settle with water. Continue until the hole is filled and the tree is firmly planted. It is not recommended to apply fertilizer at the time of planting.

254.298.5690

6.

Stake the tree, if necessary.

If the tree is grown and dug properly at the nursery, staking for support is not necessary at your home. Trees establish more quickly and develop stronger trunk and root systems if they are not staked. Protective staking may be required when lawn mower damage, vandalism, or windy conditions are concerns. Staking involves using two stakes in conjunction with a wide, flexible tie material that will hold the tree upright, provide flexibility, and minimize injury to the trunk. Remove staking and ties after the first year of growth.

7.

Mulch the base of the tree.

Mulch is organic matter applied to the area at the base, acting as a blanket to hold moisture, moderate soil temperature (both hot and cold), and reduce competition from grass and weeds. Choices include leaf litter, pine straw, shredded bark, peat moss, or wood chips. A 2 to 4 inch layer is ideal. More than 4 inches may cause a problem with oxygen and moisture levels. Be sure that the actual trunk of the tree is not covered, as this could cause decay of the living bark at the base of the tree. A mulch-free area, 1 to 2 inches wide at the base of the tree is sufficient to avoid this problem.

8.

Provide follow up care.

Keep the soil moist but not soaked; overwatering causes leaves to turn yellow or fall off. Water trees at least once per week, barring rain, and more frequently during hot weather. Continue until late fall/early winter, tapering off for lower temperatures that require less-frequent watering.

Other follow up care may include minor pruning of branches damaged during the planting process. Prune sparingly immediately after planting and wait to begin necessary corrective pruning until after a full season of growth in the new location.

After you’ve completed these eight simple steps, further routine care and favorable weather conditions will ensure that your new tree will grow and thrive. A valuable asset to any landscape, trees provide a long-lasting source of beauty and enjoyment for people of all ages.

Memorial Tree Program 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. Memorial Trees are planted in public parks so everyone can enjoy the shade, beauty and enjoyment a living tree provides. Commemorate a graduation, birth, passing, wedding, anniversary, or any special recognition. Planting a tree in a city park is a wonderful way to honor a loved one and also provide a gift for the whole community.

About Trees and Markers Parks & Leisure Services staff will work with you to select a Memorial Tree that will adhere to the tree-planting plan adopted by the City of Temple. Species of trees planted will be determined based upon planting location and type of tree needed for the chosen park site.

• Bald Cypress • Mountain Laurel • Chinese Pistache • Possumhaw Holly • Chinquapin Oak • Red Bud • Crape Myrtle • Red Oak • Live Oak • Vitex A custom-made plaque will be installed at your memorial tree site. Markers are made with durable, outdoor rated materials to ensure a lasting recognition for many years to come.

For over eight years, visitors to our city have been relying on this knowledgeable volunteer for ideas, venues, and most of all, the layout of the land.

Name: Fred Poteet How long have you been volunteering at the Temple Visitor Center?

I’ve been volunteering here since February 2003, so that I can help people find different locations in and around Temple. I try to tell people real simple yet right down to the last detail where they can find certain locations.

Why do you volunteer at the Visitor’s Center?

When I explain how to get somewhere and they understand and say that I’ve saved them so much time trying to find someplace… the expression on their face tells me that’s why I’m here.

Donette Harpole

Donette Harpole has been leading the Sweatin’ with the Oldies class at Sammons Community Center for 7 years – an assignment that she takes very seriously.

Eight years ago, upon her retirement as a Federal Civil Service employee, Donnette joined an art class at the Center to pursue her passion for painting. She soon found herself giving time to the Center as a volunteer to help with special events and shortly thereafter became a member of the part time staff.

When the call went out that an additional instructor was needed to lead an exercise class, Donette was the first to step up for the challenge as she had always been active and energetic. Seven years later she still has that energy and endurance, earning her the recognition as having the longest running, highly successful exercise program at the Center. She also continues to be a vital staff member.

“I love this class because it is so beneficial to my own health and well-being along with that of our patrons.

It is so rewarding to hear how this class has aided my students in their recovery from injuries, illness or other health-related problems.”

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, exercise opportunities, and community gathering areas.

Temple has a remarkable 58 developed parks and special use areas. The parks supply animal 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 improves Temple’s economy. Temple’s Parks and Leisure Services Department works diligently 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-APark Program would like to thank our adopters for their dedication, involvement, and hard work. These people have made a commitment to help maintain Temple’s parks. We encourage 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.
