Join Us for National Night Out on Tuesday Aug. 5!

The West Madison Good Neighbor Project (launched in 2021) is hosting our third annual National Night Out Picnic at Westmorland Park on Tuesday, August 5th in conjunction with the Madison Police Department. Please join us for free food, fun, lawn games, live music by the Mad City Ukes (ukulele band), and casual conversation! Hang with neighbors and get to know some of the police officers who work in our neighborhood. Ask any questions about policing, crime trends, neighborhood safety, or whatever is on your mind.

Kids and adults alike enjoy seeing the inside of a police squad, watching the capabilities of a police drone, or meeting a police horse or K9 (as resources allow).

Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out (NNO) events across the country each year during the first week of August. Started in the 1980s, the purpose of National Night Out events is to promote and strengthen police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, which make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.

We are grateful for the Midvale Heights Community Association and the Westmorland Neighborhood Association for sponsoring this event.

Tuesday, August 5th

5:00-7:00 pm

Westmorland Park
4114 Tokay Blvd.

Free Taco/Nacho Bar (while supplies last).

Some picnic tables will be available, but bring a blanket or chair(s) if you'd like.

Hope to see you there!

The "Bad River" documentary chronicles the Wisconsin-based Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa's ongoing fight for sovereignty and protection of Lake Superior from the aging Line 5 oil pipeline. The film highlights the tribe's deep connection to the land and their resilience in the face of historical injustices and current threats, showcasing their David and Goliath battle against the pipeline and corporate interests.

Tee-ball players should be beginners between the ages 3 and 5 (kids must be 3 or turning 3 during the summer to be eligible). There is a focus on fun while introducing the basics of baseball. Teams hit their entire line-up for each of the two inning games.

Minor leaguers are kids ages 5 to 7, who are fresh from Tee-ball, have hit pitching at home, or have 1 year of coach pitch experience. Focus for minor leaguers is placed on hitting and base running as well as basic fielding skills. While teams hit their entire line-up each of their three inning games, outs are enforced and only “legal” runners are allowed on base.

Major leaguers are kids ages 7 to 9+ who can hit coach pitching. For these kids, the entire game is brought together. Fielding skills are emphasized as well as base running and hitting. All baseball rules including three outs per inning are enforced.
