National Night Out (NNO) 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. The goal is to heighten crime prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anti-crime programs, and most importantly, send a message that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.”

It’s also a perfect way to get to know your neighbors better. Communities throughout the country participate in activities on this night including parades, block parties, movie nights and cookouts.

This year’s event will be TUESDAY AUGUST 4, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the Harford Park community building, 2522 Linwood Rd. Come meet your Harford Park neighbors, local police representatives and politicians, enjoy refreshments, and find out how to make our community safe! And… there may be a fire truck for the kids (both big and little)!

This year we’ll have a variety of door prize giveaways including gift cards to local Parkville businesses and the ever-popular Maryland State Fair family pack giveaways!

And last, but certainly not least: Did someone say FREE SNOWBALLS!?

Harford Park is proud to partner with local business Elan Treat Bar! We’ll be offering free snowballs to folks joining us at National Night Out — while supplies last!

Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday, August 4! 

Harford Park Community Association is hosting a spring plant swap at the Harford Park Community Building, 2522 Linwood Rd. Parkville 21234. This will be a rain or shine event. The date is Sunday May 24; hours are 12 noon – 2 pm.

**IMPORTANT: we do not encourage the trading of plants considered invasive in MD, so please leave the following plants at home: orange daylily, liriope, pachysandra, perennial vinca vine, English ivy, chameleon plant, and most ornamental grasses. If you have questions about a particular plant, please contact [email protected]

This is a plant SWAP, not a sale. All are welcome to attend, and you can take home plants even if you do not have plants to trade. Bring your indoor houseplants and outdoor perennials – anything you want to get rid of or want to share (Please see preceding paragraph for plant limitations)! Please take care in how you package your plants and cuttings because they need to travel home with someone else (pots and/or bags will NOT be provided). Please also take any unclaimed plants with you at the end of the event. There will be space both inside and outside to set up, but if you need a table or chair for yourself you should bring one. This will be a very low-key event! If you have any questions please contact [email protected]

There is ample street parking around the building, so please be considerate of the Community Building neighbors by not parking too close to driveways and using the building’s driveway if you have plants to unload (don’t block the street). Happy planting!

Our next general meeting will be Thursday, May 7 at 7:00 pm. Join us on Zoom or in person at the Harford Park Community Building.
We plan to have:

• Community News from Harford Park
• A legislative session update from Delegate Nick Allen
• A presentation from Darrell McDavid about the new EPICENTER project at the old VFW building on Harford Road.

Feel free to join us; all are welcome!
