The answer to that question is below,
plus more information:

• Why is this neighborhood in the City called “College Park”?
• Learn how this neighborhood fits within the broader picture of the Neighborhood Assoc. Presidents’ Council (NAPC). For the NAPC’s Facebook page click on this link.
• And. . . read about the most recent and exciting neighborhood news from College Park, a very well-attended neighborhood meeting held recently.

First, where is the College Park neighborhood?

This neighborhood extends from Dixie Hwy. east to the Lake Worth Lagoon and north from Wellesley Drive (north side of street) to the C-51 Canal which includes the City’s Spillway Park. The C-51 Canal, by the way, is the historical border between the City of Lake Worth and our neighbor to the north, West Palm Beach.

Now that you know where College Park is, does this neighborhood have a seat on the NAPC? Yes it does.

“The College Park Neighborhood Association [CPNA] is proud to have served the residents of College Park since 1996. Our mission has always been to provide a forum for residents to share information, concerns and ideas relevant to maintaining the unique and historic character of the neighborhood we all share.
     Our goal is to protect and improve the neighborhood by building strong relationships among neighbors, our neighborhood merchants, our City government, local law enforcement [PBSO] and other neighborhood associations throughout the City of Lake Worth.”

Now you know WHERE College Park is. You know WHAT the CPNA is.

But WHY is it called College Park?

“Unique to College Park is the naming of each street after prominent American colleges and universities. From Wellesley to Maryland; from Holy Cross to Vanderbilt, and from Carolina to Notre Dame. . .”.

Dear friends and neighbors, last night’s College Park meeting was wonderfully well attended; so well attended in fact, that we had to move the meeting from the Parlor Room at the First Congregational Church to the much larger Fellowship Hall.

As they say, “Stay tuned!” The next meeting of the CPNA will be scheduled shortly.
