Juniper Park Civic Assocs

A great way to find out the latest news on whats going on in the community (Middle village/​Maspeth/​Glendale/​Ridgewood) and get involved. Many times there will be DOT members, city council members, even congress members that represent the area will stop by the meetings to talk or answer questions and concerns of the community. A lot of the members are people who have been living in this area for generations! You hear some great stories and get to really know your neighbors. That’s not something I’m really use to as a native New Yorker lol! I’m glad to have found out about this great civic association for a neighborhood that I didn’t grow up in. They serve coffee at the meatings which is also nice.
Many of the members political views may be leaning heavily to one side that I am not too much of a fan of but its a bit expected in a slightly wealthier community. I do enjoy a good debate hear and now, and believe me those meetings can get heated! lol
They have lots of information up on there site, like when and where you can attend a meeting no need to call ahead. If you live in any of these neighborhoods, and even forest hills too; they have a private group on Facebook that you can join. Lots of debating going on there.
