What a Night!


Last night was Colina Park's first-ever Night Out event to celebrate safety and peace for our community. We had some fun - eating pizza and bbq, jumping rope, meeting McGruff the Crime-Fighting dog! But we were there for a purpose - to unite the Colina Park community.

And that's just what happened. Our children welcomed us to the event in more than 10 languages. We spoke of a shared neighborhood where we all work together. And we marched as a united community. Our presence was felt. Passing cars honked along University Avenue and 54th Street, recognizing the impact of our march. It was a great night - and just the beginning.
