Amazon Creek  photo showing the running path and wild vegetation. It is an oasis within the city, yet one can imagine that one is not in a city based on this view. Very peaceful though not exactly completely true to what the neighborhood looks like away from the creek...

MISSION STATEMENT

In May of 1999, the Eugene City Council adopted the following mission statement for Neighborhood Associations:

Our mission is to build community at the neighborhood level and improve the livability of the City's neighborhoods. Neighborhood Associations do this by:

• Sponsoring neighborhood improvement projects and social events;
• Providing a forum to identify, discuss, and resolve neighborhood issues
• Establishing a two-way communication between neighborhoods and the City, and between neighborhoods and other external agencies;
• Educating neighbors on issues, public process, City services, and elections, and;
• Identifying and Advocating the Neighborhood Association's position on issues such as land use, transportation, public safety, and social services.

Our neighbors are those who live, work, or own property within our boundaries.
