City of Palmdale PR – Free Neighborhood Watch Event Brings Games, Giveaways and Good Neighbors to Oasis Park

PALMDALE, CA – The City of Palmdale is bringing safety and fun together at a free Neighborhood Watch community event on Tuesday, May 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Oasis Park, 3850 E. Ave. S. The celebration is open to residents of all ages, offering the perfect opportunity to connect with your neighbors in a welcoming, family-friendly setting.

“A safe neighborhood is the foundation of everything else that we’re building in Palmdale,” said Mayor Eric Ohlsen. “When the community knows each other and their first responders, everyone becomes stronger and safer together. Palmdale’s series of Neighborhood Watch events creates grassroots connections and is an opportunity for residents to see the potential in a city that puts its people first.”

Attendees can strike a pose in a 360-degree photo booth, bounce around on inflatables, and enjoy music, train rides, face painting, interactive games, a DJ + live music, train rides, face painting, kid-friendly activities and food trucks. Guests can also enjoy free sweet treats while supplies last. Attendees can also enter a raffle for a chance to win one of five Ring cameras. Giveaways are scattered throughout the event and one person will win a Ring camera.

In between the fun, residents can stop by tables staffed by City departments, local partner organizations and first responders to learn about programs available in the community. District 3 Councilmember Laura Bettencourt will also meet her neighbors to hear directly from the community.

“Neighborhood Watch programs are one of the most cost-effective public safety tools available,” said Mayor Pro Tem Austin Bishop. “Connecting directly with the City’s Public Safety staff and local law gives residents concrete ways they can strengthen their community.”

Additional Neighborhood Watch events are planned for other council districts later this year. For more information about the program, visit www.CityOfPalmdaleCA.gov/NeighborhoodWatch.
