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.

Hydro-Fitness

Hydro-Fitness helps build strength and endurance, while toning muscles in a low-impact environment. Leg workouts in the water emphasize your lower body and gives submerged muscles up to 14 times the resistance of air. The harder you work, the more resistance you encounter. Add in a specialized upper body workout and it’s a total fitness package!
