Templeton Center

Templeton Center The Templeton Center provides recreational opportunities for active adults living in the greater Lynchburg area.

The City of Lynchburg Department of Parks and Recreation offers a variety of services and activities to residents and visitors. We maintain 17 parks, which offer organized and open areas for recreation, enjoying a picnic, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, and children’s play. Over 40 miles of our trails wind through Lynchburg and are suited for a variety of activities including walking, mountain bik

ing, hiking, and running. Community residents also enjoy the use of nine recreation centers, which are utilized for planned group programs, birthdays, baby showers, community meetings, and their outdoor amenities.
