Join Us for National Night Out on Tuesday Aug. 5!

The West Madison Good Neighbor Project (launched in 2021) is hosting our third annual National Night Out Picnic at Westmorland Park on Tuesday, August 5th in conjunction with the Madison Police Department. Please join us for free food, fun, lawn games, live music by the Mad City Ukes (ukulele band), and casual conversation! Hang with neighbors and get to know some of the police officers who work in our neighborhood. Ask any questions about policing, crime trends, neighborhood safety, or whatever is on your mind.

Kids and adults alike enjoy seeing the inside of a police squad, watching the capabilities of a police drone, or meeting a police horse or K9 (as resources allow).

Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out (NNO) events across the country each year during the first week of August. Started in the 1980s, the purpose of National Night Out events is to promote and strengthen police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, which make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.

We are grateful for the Midvale Heights Community Association and the Westmorland Neighborhood Association for sponsoring this event.

Tuesday, August 5th

5:00-7:00 pm

Westmorland Park
4114 Tokay Blvd.

Free Taco/Nacho Bar (while supplies last).

Some picnic tables will be available, but bring a blanket or chair(s) if you'd like.

Hope to see you there!

The "Bad River" documentary chronicles the Wisconsin-based Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa's ongoing fight for sovereignty and protection of Lake Superior from the aging Line 5 oil pipeline. The film highlights the tribe's deep connection to the land and their resilience in the face of historical injustices and current threats, showcasing their David and Goliath battle against the pipeline and corporate interests.

The documentary was produced by 50Eggs and graciously offered it cost-free.

This is a social event organized by the Midvale Heights Neighborhood Association and the Green Team.
After the Prairie Restoration Site Tour, which starts at 6:00 pm, there will be a get together at the Odana Hills Golf Course Bar. But you are welcome to come to the get together, even if you don't attend the tour.
We hope to see you and join us to visit with your friends and neighbors and make some new neighborhood friends!

You are invited to Prairie Restoration Site Tour right in our own backyard this Saturday, July 19, at 6 p.m. The Midvale Heights Neighborhood Association and Green Team, together with the Madison Wild Ones Chapter, are excited to host another prairie restoration site tour at the Odana Hills Golf Course on Saturday, July 19 at 6 p.m. The site is located next to the far end of the golf course parking lot.

Marcel Wuethrich is the site’s creator and will be offering the tour with other volunteers. The prairie restoration area is 1.5 acres and owned by Madison City Parks. Volunteers have established and maintained a highly diverse native prairie plant community to showcase the beauty of native plants and foster habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
