OCTOBER UPDATE Dear District 2 Residents, As promised, I’m thrilled to share that Jones Park (E Avenue H & 23rd) has officially been approved for rehab and refreshing — and the plans look fantastic! The new improvements will bring fresh life to one of our community’s favorite parks. From upgraded spaces to a cleaner, more welcoming environment, this project reflects our continued investment in District 2 and our parks and recreation, and the families who enjoy them. I’m so proud of the teamwork that made this possible, and can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself when it is completed. I’ll let you know when you can stop by, take a walk, and see the progress — Jones Park will look better than ever! The Importance of Parks Parks are more than just green spaces — they are the heart of a community. They give us a place to breathe, play, and connect. From children laughing on playgrounds to families gathering under shade trees, parks remind us of the beauty in simply being together. They also strengthen our neighborhoods — encouraging healthier lifestyles, providing safe spaces for recreation, and increasing the pride we feel in where we live. Every time we invest in our parks, we invest in our people, our quality of life, and the future of Temple. (254) 654-9392
