MPNA National Night Out 2-Aug-2011

On a pleasant evening in August, the Marshall Park Neighborhood Association held its annual picnic in the park, to celebrate National Night Out.  Over 100 neighbors, children, and dogs turned out to enjoy the event.   Portland Parks representatives talked to neighbors about ideas for a new playground, and many people filled out a survey to provide feedback.   Portland Police dropped in to chat with people.  The children were especially impressed with the big police motorbike.   Several little ones got to sit in the seat, and I think some adults would have liked to do that too!    We enjoyed chatting with neighbors and listening to fiddle music in the background.   And due to many generous donations, people were able to enjoy free hot dogs, veggie dogs, lemonade, and ice cream.  Mmmmmm!   

We also had a free raffle which was very popular. We had some really great prizes this year, including gift certificates to local businesses, a NET safety tool, and a bird feeder.

Much gratitude to Safeway, Market Of Choice, SWNI, Southwest Community Center, Domino Hardwood Floors, Bella's Garage, Portland Parks and Recreation, Ice Cream Express, ONI Crime Prevention Office, and several anonymous donations. And a big thanks to all the wonderful volunteers.

Marshall Park NA National Night Out 3-Aug-2010

We celebrated National Night Out with a picnic in Marshall Park.    Well over 100 neighbors, children, and dogs attended and all had a good time.   There were delicious grilled hot dogs and tofu dogs with all the trimmings.    We had special visits from the police services and a big red fire truck.  And there was a free raffle with prizes.   And to round it off there were delicious ice cream treats for all.   It was good to see everyone visiting and enjoying the company of their neighbors.    Thanks to all the volunteers who put this together, and to SWNI for all their help.

Marshall Park NA National Night Out 4-Aug-2009

On Tuesday August 4th, Marshall Park Neighborhood Association celebrated National Night Out with its annual picnic in the park. Over 100 neighbors gathered in the park on a lovely evening to feast on hot dogs, tofu dogs, fruit, lemonade and ice cream. Neighbors visited and caught up on local events, to the sounds of a solo violin. We also got the chance to chat with Police Captain Kruger and two other officers who dropped by. The kids had a great time playing in the park, and getting their faces painted. And many people went home laden with prizes from the free raffle. As always, this was a fun event enjoyed by everyone who attended. Our thanks to SWNI for all their support, and kudos to the many volunteers who made this event such a success.


 

Marshall Park Notice Board Work Party 28-Feb-2009

On 28-Feb-2009, over 15 neighbors gathered to celebrate the new Notice Board in Marshall Park.   This board was made possible by a grant from SWNI.   It will be an information center and meeting place for neighbors and park users.   In addition to admiring the sign, the group also pulled blackberries and weeds from the slope around the sign, and replaced them with many native plants, courtesy of Hoyt Arboretum.   Thanks to everyone for pitching in, and enjoying the coffee and donuts!

MPNA National Night Out 5-Aug-2008

The annual NNO celebration was a rousing success.   Over 70 neighbors gathered for a picnic in the park.    The adults enjoyed the food, information table, raffle, live music, and the chance to 'interrogate' the Chief of Police (yes Chief Sizer dropped in to chat with neighbors).   The kids enjoyed the face painting, the ice cream, and the police ATV's.   A grand time was had by all.  Some neighbors also brought their very well-behaved dogs.  Thank you to all the volunteers and helpers; and also a big thanks to SWNI and "Journeys" restaurant for the raffle prizes.

This morning, with all the snow, it was a perfect day to go out for a walk. Here is the snowy day from Marshall Park, along the trail that goes up from the stream. Not slippery at all today! BBS
