There are many advantages to living in Parkside Neighborhood. We have a new and beautiful neighborhood park. We have a caring neighborhood association that wants the best for the neighborhood and the people living in it. And lets not forget the most important part... we have great neighbors!
Our neighborhod park has only been 'up and running' for about a year. Right now there is a play structure with swings and slides that are a lot of fun to play on. We also have a nice shaded area with trees in the back. When you walk by the park you may even find a neighborhood basseball team practicing by the baseball diamond. And there are still a lot more things to come. The city has a plan for each neighborhood park and they reach that plan in stages/phases. The final stage/phase of Diamond Park includes a walk way around the whole park and a irrigation system. So make sure that you stop by and take a look.
Parkside Neighborhood Association is here to help YOU, the members of this community, to deal with issues and concerns that may affect life in your neighborhood. We can make recomendations to the City of Vancouver about traffic problems, help to solve conflicts between neighbors, and have neighborhood activities so that you may get to know the people who are your neighors. We are here to improve the communication system between the Goverment and the people of our community and hope you will join us in completing this task!
Parkside Neighborhood Association was officially recognized by the Vancouver City Council on April 17, 2002. We were the 56th neighborhood association to be recognized. During the first year, the association helped make the plans for what equipment would be in the park. But that was only a start. During the second year Parkside Neighborhood Association dealt with issues concerning the name of our neighborhood park, speeding problems and other things that concerned neighbors. In the next few years Parkside Neighborhood Association will hopefully have a Neighborhood Action Plan, speed bumps or a speed/traffic circle and of course, a lot of fun.
