Fun times at CLNA/CHNA’s Potluck Picnic in the Park

By Events

With all the planning that goes into any event, one thing you cannot predict is the weather, especially for a picnic.  However, you definitely can increase your chances of good weather for a Florida outdoor event during our cooler and dryer months of the year.  With a high of 74 degrees and clear blue skies, last Sunday turned out to be the perfect day for a picnic in Crescent Lake Park.

We have always enjoyed a special relationship with our neighboring association to the north of us, Crescent Heights Neighborhood Association.  We’ve had joint Easter Egg Hunts and events at Sunken Gardens.  So why not something new?  This was the first joint Potluck Picnic in the Park.  There were new friends to meet.  There were lawn games for the kids to play.  There was fabulous food brought by all that participated.  Plus, it was a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors at our beautiful Crescent Lake Park.

A special thanks to Greg Fallon from Crescent Heights Neighborhood Association who coordinated the event with Sarah Breen, our Secretary.  Thank you to all who attended and participated.  We look forward to next year’s picnic!

Crescent Lake in District 4 video

By Neighborhood News

Our Council Member, Darden Rice, guides you through a virtual tour of the area that District 4 encompasses.  District 4 covers an area from Coffeepot Bayou on the east to I-275 on the west and from 77th Ave. N. on the north to 5th Ave. N. on the south.

The video was filmed in our park with our historic Crescent Lake Water Tower in the background.  Crescent Lake Park is one of Darden Rice’s favorite places.  It made our list of favorite places too!

Living Local is a City of St. Petersburg show that highlights the uniqueness of St. Petersburg’s neighborhoods.  The show provides a snapshot of a neighborhood told through interviews of the residents who live there.  They try to find a unique angle to each neighborhood and show the beauty and diversity of St. Petersburg.

They will be shooting a show on our neighborhood with interviews of residents sometime in February or March.  Couples would be interviewed together.  The show’s release date would be approximately one month after the interviews.  If you have any great stories about living in Crescent Lake, please let us know.

This is a very exciting opportunity to showcase our neighborhood as part of the fabric that makes St. Petersburg a great place to live!
