Striking a balance between vibrancy and livability, Temple continues to grow its amenities for residents, while maintaining a safe, family-friendly, caring culture. Whether it is the scenic parks and trails, the family friendly atmosphere, or the unique neighborhoods with Texas charm, we think you will find something here that you love! Our vision is for Temple to be a place that you love to call home. That includes being a high-performing organization with a bold vision for our community, where we provide places and spaces where people want to live and love, while also maintaining a safe and healthy community with the proper infrastructure and systems to support exceptional service and long-term growth and development. We hope you take advantage of the beautiful parks, community events, recreational activities, local shopping, and other unique experiences that Temple has to offer.
