What do kids, bugs,
neighborhood
gardening and our
local park have in
common ?
Hello Neighbors,
My name is Tiffanie Simpson and
I live on 25th Street between C
and D Streets with my husband
and two boys. I am an
entomologist and currently
employed as assistant manager
at the Contained Research
Facility on the UC Davis campus.
We have lived in our 1912
bungalow for the past 10 years.
We have met so many wonderful
people and have formed such
great friendships in this
neighborhood. For many years
there were no children in our
immediate area. Since we had
our first child six years ago, he
has been joined by eight more
on our block, with two arriving in
the two weeks!

I have been involved with
Friends of Grant Park for the
last five years and have
enjoyed being a part of the
effort to make families feel
comfortable and welcome at
our local park. Friends of
Grant Park has been the
recipient of several First 5
Sacramento Community
Building Initiative grants. We
have been able to hold a
number of free, fun, and
family-friendly events in the
park that continue to build a
stronger community and
create lasting relationships.
We just received another
grant and look forward to
continuing to bring these
events to Grant Park.

My partner, Lori Ward, and I
were fortunate enough to also
secure a grant for Sacramento
Parenting Partnership, aimed
at linking parents to each
other and to resources in the
community. Since I became
involved in the effort to build
community in our
neighborhood, I have come to
really appreciate the support
system, the friends, and the
rich relationships we have in
this neighborhood.
A very exciting project I am
currently involved with is the
New Era Community Garden,
located on 26th street
between B and C Streets. (see
page 2 of the Aug Park Beat)
A core of dedicated neighbors
is working to bring this vacant
lot to life. I am privileged
enough to be part of the
founding group and look
forward to seeing the project
develop. If you are interested
in finding out more about the
garden, feel free to contact
me.

Boulevard Park is a unique, cohesive neighborhood -- an area
which strives for the preservation of old values and traditions
but also values individuality and new ideas. Perhaps more than
any other area of the city, the area understands the need for
balance between each individual part of the city as well as its
contribution to the creation of the city as a whole. The area is a
community in itself, created by the sense of neighborhood, by
the ready availability of businesses, by one of a kind stores
rather than franchise chains, by a minimal dependence on the
automobile, and by a diverse mix of interesting people from all
backgrounds. Given these things, rehabilitation, preservation,
and enhancement of Boulevard Park is in the city’s best interest
as well as in the interest of the neighborhood’s residents.

with among many of our local Neighborhood Response Teams and Neighborhood Action Group.
BPNA regularly monitors the progress of the Neighborhood Preservation Transportation Plan for
Midtown and networks with other neighborhood associations to share information, develops
policies and make sure all neighborhoods remain health BPNA produces, publishes and distributes
a free paper (and electronic) monthly newsletter The Park Beat reaches nearly 1500 households,
chronicling neighborhood and City events, programs, services and alerts residents to problems
and issues affecting their quality of life.
BPNA is not a homeowner's association. It is resident driven. Everyone who turns their porch light
on before going to bed at night has a stake in this neighborhood!
So, thanks to all who have given their time, energy and talents. Thanks to the Block Captains who
deliver the monthly newsletters. Thanks to everyone, members and non-members, who take the
time to clean the gutters, rake the leaves and maintain their yards that send a message that we
are a neighborhood that cares.
