Sep 25 2021 - May 20th, 2022 Ocotillo Hills Block Watch Love Your Block Grant
We applied for a grant in 2020 from Neighborhood Services to get 4 entry signs for our neighborhood with solar lighting. Neighbors came together to design, manufacture, landscape, and install the signs. A 1960s advertisement for the Ocotillo Hills neighborhood, which included a midcentury modern font, inspired the design of these signs.
October 15th, 2022 Ocotillo Hills Block Watch G.A.I.N. Event
G.A.I.N. (Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods). Even with sporadic rain, we had a great turnout of neighbors at Norton Park with 9 other block watches and neighborhood business groups. Residents from far and wide donated needed items for the residents that lost their belongings and homes in an apartment fire.
December 10th, 2022 Sunnyslope Holiday Market & Parade
Ocotillo Hills Residents came together to design and build a float for the December 10th parade down Hatcher Rd from 7th Ave to Central Ave. This was the first year, and there was a great amount of support from our residents at this fun event for the entire family. There was food, music, vendors, and North Mountain Brewing had a beer tent.
