National Night Out at Tietze Park

This year’s National Night Out at Tietze Park will be Tuesday, October 2 from 5:30-8:30pm.

National Night Out is designed to strengthen community relationship between residents and public service organizations such as police, city departments and charitable organizations that serve the community. Approximately 5,000 households are represented by the three neighborhood associations that host the event – Lower Greenville, Lakewood Heights, and Lowest Greenville West. Our event generates 800-1,000 attendees each year.

On hand will be police officers to talk to about crime concerns. In addition, we will have exhibits from quality-of-life and charitable organizations. As usual we will have the face painters, hotdogs, musical entertainment, and a bounce house.

This is a great opportunity to have some fun, meet some neighbors, and learn a little something about health and safety. Look for the manila flyer on your doorstep. The event will take the place of our regularly scheduled November LGNA meeting. Be sure to save the date.
