Happy Holidays from RPNA!
 
Join the Rose Park Neighborhood Association for our 5th Annual Rose Park Tree Lighting

 

There will be carolers, holiday music, hot cider, chocolate and cookies. A beautiful holiday tree will be placed in the middle of the park and you are invited to make an ornament for the tree. Our theme is PEACE so we ask you to include a message of peace on or with your ornament. We save your ornaments to place on the tree year after year. Be part of a tradition. info@rpna.org or (562) 368-4877

Historic E. 7th Street & Historical District Banners Due To Be Installed This Month! 

7th St Banners

Rose Park Neighborhood Association applied for and received a grant from the Neighborhood Partners Program to install banners designating the historical districts on E. 7th Street.

 

The Neighborhood Partners Program is offered by the Department of Development Services to assist neighborhood and community groups with beautification and improvement projects.

 

Signal Hill Petroleum made this all possible with a generous contribution of $1,500.00.

 

Residents and businesses from the three historic districts, the Neighborhood Resource Center and Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal's office pitched in with a clean-up that met the requirements for Rose Park Neighborhood Assn. contribution.

 

These banners will be mounted on existing street poles from Redondo Ave. to Los Alamitos in an effort to draw attention to and identify the historic designations of these three districts.

 

Efforts to improve E. 7th Street are ongoing and participation in these projects is appreciated.  If you would like to be a part of this project, we need you!  email info@rpna.org
