Plaza Park Neighborhood Association
In the late summer of 2012, Rose Mary Cain wanted to start a neighborhood crime watch. EPD Officer Anna Gray arranged our first crime watch meeting where 22 neighbors gathered in lawn chairs at the end of Queens Avenue. The first major hurdle (finding a place to hold meetings) was overcome as Plaza Park School’s principal offered the school’s cafeteria for meetings. For the next two years, we functioned as a crime watch, meeting monthly and presenting speakers from all organizations in Evansville to help with preventing crime and promoting safety for our neighbors.
On September 18, 2014, long-time United Neighborhoods of Evansville members and Plaza Park neighbors, Nancy and Bill Currie, took our simple crime watch meetings to the next level. Upon his recommendation, we became Plaza Park Neighborhood and incorporated in February 2017. The first officers chosen at that meeting were: Randy Cain, President; Rose Mary Cain, Vice President; Becky Fischer, Secretary; and Linda Deig, Treasurer. Also, the Board of Directors included: Nancy Currie, Bill Currie, Elsie Weaver, and Beverly Eggers. The boundaries of our association are defined as follows: Newburgh Road to South Burkhardt to East Lloyd Expressway to the Warrick County Line.
Plaza Park Neighborhood Association’s mission is to help improve the quality of life in the Plaza Park neighborhood area and Evansville community by increasing the overall safety and security for the neighborhood citizens and visitors (from youth and senior) through education, public awareness, charitable contributions, and community partnerships; empower citizens with the tools, information, and technology to reduce and prevent criminal activity, and reduce the impact of emergency and disaster situations by working with our local police and emergency management departments, and city and state representatives.
