Thank you for saying YES and supporting Temple Parks


The Temple Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the 2015 Parks Bond Election passed with a 69% approval rating. We were proud to support this effort and are thankful to all who showed up to vote. This will mean wonderful things for the parks throughout our community, and will make an impact for communities across the spectrum.

Have a "VOTE YES" yard sign you need to dispose of?

DON'T LET 'VOTE YES' YARD SIGNS BECOME TRASH! We are happy to announce the City of Temple Solid Waste Department has made arrangements for recycling the 1,000 Vote Yes yard signs parks supporters no longer need!
