The Benton Park West Neighborhood Association is
an all volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated
to serving those who live, work, and play in BPW.
Our Mission
Enhance and strengthen the neighborhood and its
residents by promoting safety, beautification, local
organizations, communication, and diversity
Our Work
-
Organizing Neighborhood Cleanups because tackling litter is more fun together
-
Hosting free events like the Easter Eggstravaganza, Movie Nights, and Haunted Block Party
-
Sharing information with residents about important resources, organizations, and opportunities
-
Establishing Community Gardens to connect neighbors to nature and each other
-
Submitting letters to deciding agencies regarding new business/development proposals and conditions needed to protect neighbors from potential nuisances
-
Providing help to residents navigating city procedures for safety and maintenance issues
-
Maintaining Cherokee Dog Park as a place for members and their pups to socialize and play
In the past, BPWNA published and distributed a neighborhood newsletter, organized real estate tours to market remodeled and vacant buildings, and operated neighborhood programs to improve safety.
The neighborhood has changed a lot in recent years, and we are adapting to the needs of the community. If you have ideas for how we can better serve BPW or are interested in contributing your time or resources towards a new or existing initiative, please contact us!
