Neighborhood Information
Fisher Park Neighborhood
Greensboro's first park suburb
Join neighbors for monthly FPNA Board meetings!
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Educational Building
Our neighborhood has a 15-member Board. Five Board members rotate off each year and 5 new Board members rotate on. The Board is never static. We attempt to have a relatively equal number of Board members from the four quadrants of our neighborhood, with Elm Street and the Park itself delineating the four quadrants. To nominate yourself or a neighbor to the neighborhood Board, please contact President John McLendon. The Board meets monthly at the date/time/location noted below. For specific dates, click the News tab. Click here to learn of neighborhood volunteer opportunities and responsibilities.
Ourneighborhood Articles of Incorporation were created in September 1978 and our neighborhoodBylaws were amended in 2007. Minutes of monthly Board of Directors meetings are usually available within a month after a Board meeting. They must be typed by our Secretary, a Board volunteer, and approved at the following meeting, then can be posted, so we appreciate your patience. Our neighborhood's Park Committee minutesare available irregularly. The Park Committee meets irregularly. Contact Sally Atwood for Park Committee meeting times/dates/details.
Other Neighborhood Maps
Our neighborhood is approximately 7 x 7 city blocks in size. View a map of our Fisher Park neighborhood. Our neighborhood Association represents the entire neighborhood, not just the smaller Historic District within the neighborhood.
Want to use the City park for a special event? Need to know City park rules and regs? You may need to complete a City of Greensboro Park Request Form. Of course, small informal events don't require any form. Just get out there and enjoy our delightful Fisher Park!
In 2003, neighborhood volunteers mailed a survey, gathered results, and held two public meetings to document concerns and desires of our neighborhood residents and property owners. There is much raw data you are welcome to see, but here is an overview of the Fisher Park Next Generation Committee's findings. Only you can help bring these goals to fruition. Find a goal you'd like to participate in, then contact any Board memberto volunteer your time for any project. Thank you!

Four or more times each year, volunteers generate Fisher Parker newsletters. Our 25-30 neighborhood volunteer Block Captains deliver newsletters to our over 800 homes, apartments, and businesses. We always encourage additional volunteers to help deliver to blocks without Block Captains, to write articles, to manage advertisements, or to assume the editorship for Fisher Parker newsletters. Click HERE to read newsletter issues. Contact Ann Stringfield to volunteer your interest and talents in Fisher Parker newsletter production!
Neighborhood House & Garden Tours
Every 4-5 years, neighborhood volunteers coordinate a home and garden tour as a fundraiser for our neighborhood. Our successful 2002 tourcelebrated our neighborhood's centennial. To volunteer to help organize another tour, e-mail Todd McCain.
Police consistently advise us not to give money or work to people who wander through neighborhoods, because it only enables behaviors better helped in other ways. A source of significant local community health and human services is available 24/7/365 by dialing 2-1-1
