Annual Events
Spring Fling Mixer (March)
When mother nature celebrates, so do we. We all meet up at a local business and celebrate spring together by sharing laughs, food and fellowship.
Trash Bash
"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it". Well, that's not the case at Crowley Park. We get together once every two years and roll up our sleeves to ensure our park is trash free; and of course, share some coffee.
International Potluck (April)
One of the best things about our neighborhood is the diversity. At the International Potluck we celebrate each one by bringing a dish representing each persons heritage. We also set up games and activities for the families to play together and make new friends from different parts of the world.
4th of July Parade (July)
Celebrate independence with the Richardson fire fighters and a early parade through the neighborhood!
Annual Meeting (September)
Hear updates from CPNA leadership and guest speakers from the City of Richardson. We will also hold the annual election for CPNA Board and Committee positions.
Fall Festival (October)
Wrap up the year with spooky festivities in the park! Normally we have a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot off of Lookout Drive, and we always need volunteers!
