Make an Investment in River Park: Join the RPNA



Your RPNA membership helps support the efforts that make our neighborhood a safer, more enjoyable place to live. Every membership dollar comes back to you in the form of family-friendly neighborhood events, community enhancement, and improved property values.

The River Park Neighborhood Association ( RPNA ) was established in January 1993 to "enhance the livability of the River Park area by establishing and maintaining an open line of communication with and acting as a liaison between the neighborhood, government agencies and other neighborhoods and associations." The RPNA is dedicated to providing "an open process by which members of the neighborhood may involve themselves in the affairs of the neighborhood."

The RPNA's recent accomplishments include:

	Worked with local, state, and federal officials to help secure 100-year flood protection for River Park, a change that resulted in hundreds of dollars in savings for every household in River Park
	Brought back favorite River Park neighborhood events, including the fall picnic and holiday light decorating contest.
	Built stone community sign base at River Park entrance.
	Worked with law enforcement to create CPTED Report for Glen Hall park, and to secure funding for park improvements.
	Supported the Night Heron-affected neighbors in securing City support for clean-up and active discouragement of nesting in River Park
	Donated funds to Caleb Greenwood Elementary School for the "Touch of Understanding" program.
	Worked with the SCUSD school board to address the need for a local High School for our students.
	Advocated against and ultimately reversed Regional Transit's proposed elimination of bus service to River Park. The neighborhood actually received enhanced bus service in September 2005 — despite service cutbacks in all other parts of the city.
	Continue to co-ordinate with the police in the implementation of Night Patrol.
