meetings with the community, Oakland Police Department,
our City Council Members and representatives and guest

Activities
- As
our neighborhood has evolved, so have the projects
that we take on. An Earth Day project that started
in April 2003 to clean up Redding Street between High
and Birdsall has evolved into an Adopt A Highway and
an Adopt A Spot project, with beautiful landscaping
projects. This now falls under the Beautification
and Blight NAT.
- A
desire to be more proactive in the community led to
the development of Neighborhood
Walks, with numbers ranging from 3 to 60. Dogs
and Strollers are welcome.
- And
then, out of a brainstorming session at the August
2004 meeting, Neighborhood
Action Teams were created to specifically address
those issues felt to be the most important. Regular
NAT updates will also be published in the MacArthur
Metro. Click on history

- MaxPark
Families is the kids’ and parents’
group for Maxwell Park and nearby neighborhoods. Together,
we share resources, exchange ideas and build resources
to create good neighborhoods for all families. To
