NHNENC VP Jennifer Clark was quoted in the Daily News about our effort to weigh in on the public safety risk of wire theft and our support of a bill to stop it.
Join us Wednesday, June 25, 6-8pm at LAFD 89 as we hear from LAPD Senior Lead Officers, the Homelessness Deputy for Council District 2 and LA City Councilmember Adrin Nazarian.
🌳🎉 On November 13, 2024 our Neighborhood Council alongside Councilmember Krekorian and the Department of Recreation and Parks convened for the Keswick Pocket Park Groundbreaking Ceremony, where we enthusiastically announced the grand opening of Keswick Pocket Park! This beautiful new green space is the result of a collaborative effort between Councilmember Paul Krekorian and his CD2 team, the Department of Recreation and Parks, and our dedicated Board members at NHNENC. While the park is not open, it will be fully completed and launched in about six months—by spring 2025! Green spaces like Keswick Pocket Park are essential for our community, providing a place to gather, play, and connect with nature. We look forward to seeing you at the park and making it a special place for all!

At the Groundbreaking Ceremony, remarks were given by Councilmember Paul Krekorian, Department of Recreation and Parks Assistant General Manager Catherine Domingo, LAPD Officers from the North Hollywood and Foothill Division, and our Board President Zaid Diaz-Arias. Below are some comments given by President Diaz-Arias:
“Good morning, everyone! It’s a pleasure to be here as we celebrate the grand opening of Keswick Pocket Park in North Hollywood.
As President of the North Hollywood Northeast Neighborhood Council, I’m proud to represent our community on this special day. Today, we’re celebrating more than just a new park—we’re celebrating the commitment and dedication of our Councilmember and the incredible team at Council District 2. Their unwavering efforts to bring more green space to our ‘park-poor’ community have made this moment possible.
The vision for this park began before 2016, and a formal motion was approved by City Council in April 2020. Despite delays caused by the pandemic, CD2 never wavered in their mission to transform this once-unused city property into a vibrant space for everyone to enjoy. Just under a year ago, the Mayor approved the land transfer to the Department of Recreation and Parks, and today, we’re seeing that vision come to life.
Keswick Pocket Park is more than just a park; it’s a new place for families to gather, friends to connect, and our community to thrive. This space represents resilience, dedication, and the power of community-driven change.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this project to completion. Here’s to many years of joy and connection at Keswick Pocket Park. Thank you!”
