The DeKalb County Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Affairs encourages neighborhoods to form and participate in a Friends group for the park nearest their community. Shoal Creek Park, Phase I is one of the parks that is adjacent to our community. Our neighbors are actively working to improve this park. DeKalb County states that : “The Friends of the Park group is the strongest voice for the protection, preservation, expansion and improvement to the DeKalb County's 6,770 acres of parks and playgrounds. Your membership to Friends of the Parks will help support our neighborhood parks and playground projects, environmental education, advocacy and volunteer programs throughout DeKalb County.  Many of our Friends of the Park groups … have completed numerous beautification projects and assisted in the success of countless special events.”

A neighborhood effort to clean up our streets.  Adopt your street or an entire block (or two or three) and commit to picking up trash on a regular basis.  Every little bit helps keep Belvedere Park looking great!  This is a self-initiated individual effort for each of us to do a little bit more to promote and enhance the quality of life in our community. Volunteer today and sign up for an area of your choosing.

National Night Out (NNO)

For many years the Belvedere Civic Club has supported our local law enforcement and public safety agencies by sponsoring the nation-wide event called “National Night Out.” National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

Rivers Alive is Georgia's annual volunteer waterway cleanup event that targets all waterways in the State including streams, rivers, lakes, beaches, and wetlands. The mission of Rivers Alive is to create awareness of and involvement in the preservation of Georgia's water resources.

Deliver Newsletters and Flyers

When we go back to in person meetings, the Belvedere Civic Club hand delivers newsletters to every house in our neighborhood. It can be time consuming for just one or two people, so volunteers are always welcome and appreciated. If you're willing to deliver monthly newsletters to a small portion of the Belvedere Park area around where you live, please let us know in the form below.

Other Events and Activities

The events and activities listed above are a sample of the continuous commitment that the Belvedere Civic Club and its members have made to our community. Over the decades there have been many more.  Also, we realize that our neighbors are imaginative and resourceful.  If you have other skills and resources that would be a benefit to our community and if you are willing to share them with us, then please feel free to contact us and let us know.

Tell us what your volunteer interests are!
