The Briarwood Estates Neighborhood Association is the brainstorm of Briarwood Blvd. resident Jeff Dalton.
In 2004, Jeff had a vision for his beloved neighborhood - to keep it safe and beautiful.
With a strong desire to maintain the stability and pride of homeownership that exists in this area, Jeff and his wife Kathy held the first BENA meeting in their home in October 2005-28 homes were represented at this inaugural meeting.
BENA, now known as Fielder Park Neighborhood, has expanded its boundaries to include Briarwood Blvd. (North from Park Row to Smith Lane), Westcrest Drive, Sherwood Drive (to Briarwood Blvd.), Kenwood Terrace, Windmill Court, Colonial Court, Scenic Drive, Raydon Drive, and Powell Drive.
The April 14, 2007 meeting saw an explosion of interest in neighborhood issues which was reflected in the dramatic increase in attendance with 50 homes represented.
There is now a Fielder Park Community Watch Group, headed up by Patty Murphy. It consists of several Block Captains to ensure coverage of all streets. Patty attends regular meetings of city wide CWG's and has attended the Arlington's Police Citizens Police Academy 12 week course. She also is an active member of the Citizens on Patrol with the city.
Fielder Park CWG now has annual National Night Out picnics and garage sales. We host a donation drive to benefit city non-profits at every gathering.
