Belfair Development contributed 8-acres of park land to the City of Temple for Friars Creek Park. The parkland is generally located on the south and east of Friars Creek Landing homes and follows the creek from Hartrick Bluff Road to the abandoned railroad tracks, and connects to South Temple Park trails to Lions Junction on South 5th Street.
The abondoned railroad, adjacent to the north side of Friars Creek Landing homes, will soon become part of Temple's trail system, with Phase one improvements funded from South 5th Street to South 31st Street. Future phases will extend the trail all the way to I35 in Belton and connect with other trails. Residents of Friars Creek Landing will enjoy direct access to what will become a major element of Temple's trail system.
The US Postal Service determined that Friars Creek residents mail service would be by cluster boxes at a central location determined by the post office.
Since the legislature removed the requirement for Cable companies to negotiate franchise agreements with municipalities, they have become very independent. Installation time lag is a statewide problem and some cable companies have left our market.
