National Good Neighbor Day
Get to know your neighbors. Host a block party, invite neighbors over for a BBQ, help a neighbor with a project, or go for a walk around your neighborhood. Be the good neighbor. Because, good neighbors make great neighborhoods. Originally, National Good Neighbor Day was created in the early 1970s by Becky Mattson of Lakeside, Montana.
In 1978, United States President Jimmy Carter issued Proclamation 4601:
“As our Nation struggles to build friendship among the peoples of this world, we are mindful that the noblest human concern is concern for others. Understanding, love and respect build cohesive families and communities. The same bonds cement our Nation and the nations of the world. For most of us, this sense of community is nurtured and expressed in our neighborhoods where we give each other an opportunity to share and feel part of a larger family…I call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.”
In 2003, National Good Neighbor Day was changed from the fourth Sunday in September to September 28.

Neighborhood Celebration June 1st
At the end of 2023 we applied for Park Activation grant funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and were awarded $8,000 to put on events in the park for the community.
Our first event is quickly approaching on Saturday, June 1st, from 11AM-3PM. This event is an opportunity to get our residents outside and enjoy the park as a community. Events like this help remind residents how valuable our parks are, highlight areas in the park that need our attention and advocacy, and displace undesirable loitering and other anti-social activities which we don’t want in our parks.
Free activities will include:
Ribbon cutting for new WalkPHX path at 12PM featuring Vice Mayor and District 3 Councilwoman Debra Stark
Make & Take family art activity to enjoy art in the park, with the bonus goal of developing ideas for a future mural in the park.
Bounce House Obstacle Course
Bounce House Waterslide
Water Balloon Toss
Basketball Challenges (free throw contest, 3-point contest, etc.)
Sidewalk Chalk art activity
Event tables from City of Phoenix Parks Department, Neighborhood Services, PHX Cares, and more
We will also have a food truck from 12PM-2PM, so feel free to stop by to support this local business and eat lunch with us even if you don’t stay for the other activities.

Arbor Day
Known as the tree planter’s holiday, Arbor Day is a day for people to come together in recognition of the wonders of trees. Communities, schools, businesses, and individuals alike join together to plant commemorative trees, hand out free trees, provide education on tree planting and care, and celebrate all the benefits trees provide.
Founded in 1972, the Arbor Day Foundation is the world’s largest member nonprofit dedicated to planting trees. Our strength is in network – a diverse group of individuals, municipalities, corporations, and planting organizations that enable us to plant trees around the world. We intentionally collaborate with partners who are deeply engaged in the areas they serve to plant the right trees in the right places to have the greatest impact.
Now more than ever, the world needs the powerful benefits of trees to safeguard the health of our climate, our communities, and the biodiversity of the planet. We are answering the call by pursuing our next ambitious goal: planting 500 million more trees by 2027, with a focus on forests and neighborhoods of greatest need.
