Neighborhood Happenings

As the neighborhood comes out of its winter hibernation and the year starts ramping up, do you find yourself looking for some quality neighbor time? You're in luck!

The snow has melted, the trees are blooming, and it’s time to show our streets some love! Join us for our bi-annual neighborhood sprucification—no RSVP required, just bring your good vibes.

We’ll be tidying up streets and alleys to get Springdale looking fresh as we head into shorts season strong. Let’s clean up and glow up together!

 

Meet under The Temple Oak at 9 for coffee and donuts.

Packer truck comes at 12, so if you just want to ride, come then!

If you do a clean up around your house, leave trash in bags easily visible from the street or alley.
