WHEN: Tuesday, Oct. 4 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
WHERE: Tom Wussow Park, 500 Greens Rd. (near I-45 North & North Sam Houston Parkway/Beltway)
WHY: Public safety is one of the North Houston District’s priorities, which is why it hosts one of the largest National Night Out events in town.
Although National Night Out is celebrated in August in some parts of the country, it is scheduled for October in Texas.
National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, while fostering a true sense of community in the Aldine-Greenspoint area. Additionally, the evening provides an opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances, with the ultimate goal of reducing crime.
