Hi Watrous Heights Neighbors:

We had a productive recent year. There were improvements in our neighborhood. There were changes that made our neighborhood better.

There were things that WHNA did that helped make the neighborhood better and safer for all of us. There were events that we hosted that were also enjoyed by many of our neighbors.

We have preliminary plans to help make things even better, safer and more enjoyable in this 2026 year.

WHNA will again be hosting the National Night Out Event at Park Avenue Elementary School Grounds in late summer. We will have many displays where many churches, private organizations and departments from the City and County have services that can be beneficial to our neighbors. We will also have free food and plenty of things for the kids, like face painting, bounce houses and games. This is our biggest event of the year, and we already are recruiting volunteers to help us put this event on. We cannot successfully do this without you, the volunteers.

We will again have Holiday Lighting Contest and Drawing during the Christmas Holiday Season. 

This summer WHNA will again have an evening swim party at the Nahas Aquatic Center and pool. This will be our third year of hosting this event.

Hopefully, we will again be able to do a couple of small local neighborhood Block parties during the summer. 

We also participate the Friends of SW 9th Event where they close SW 9th street for a weekend day morning event.

We usually try to find ways to work with various Churches and Schools to work with them for seasonal events like Easter Egg hunts, and Trick or Treat events during those holidays.

You can contact us on this website. If you send us your name, address, and email address or other contact info, we will send you an email reminder for our main WHNA events or let you know about a small block party in your immediate area.

WHNA is always looking for neighbors to help us in the planning stages for these events. We can use people to help us on the WHNA Board and at our Neighbors meetings.
