A Beach and Park Walk will take place in Savin Hill on Tuesday August 2, 2011, as part of the Savin Hill Night Out. The walk begins at 9 p.m. and leaves from the parking lot at Denny & Playstead. Contact savinhillotb@gmail.com for more information. Dogs welcome.
National Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners. The goal is to heighten crime-prevention awareness, build support in local crime programs, and most importantly, send a message that the neighborhood is organized and fighting back. It's also a perfect opportunity to get your neighbors even better. (Photo: MA DCR/Boston Harborwalk)
