Did you know Winter West was formed by neighbors to activate Richmond Park then Friends of Grand Rapids Parks took on the events for parks. However as they grew and the weather became unpredictable its been difficult to keep this event as planned. We are hoping to have a pop event yet this year. If you are interested in keeping winter traditions alive WGNO needs board members who can help make this happen as this event will now be part of West Grand Neighborhood Organization. We hope that there will be resident leaders who can step and help make this tradition come back better than ever!

Maybe , just maybe we could have a cardboard sledding contest, but in the meantime, please keep those vehicles locked up and valuables put away.

The Grinch is on the moveโ€ฆ donโ€™t make it easy!
86% of car thefts happen because the vehicle wasnโ€™t locked.
This season:
๐Ÿ” Lock it
๐ŸŽ Lose the valuables
๐ŸŒŸ Park smart
๐Ÿ‘€ Stay alert

If you see suspicious activity, call 911.
Letโ€™s keep West Grand merry, bright, and SAFE! ๐ŸŽ„โœจ
