Harris Park St Petersburg
Amenities/character/etc.
The Harris Park Neighborhood is located conveniently between I-275, 16th Street North, 38th Avenue North, and Haines Road. Easy access to the 38th Avenue North and 54th Avenue North exits of the Interstate allow quick commuting to a wide area of Tampa Bay. Beautiful Kiwanis Park adorns our 38th Avenue North boundary, while serene Kelly Lake offers a comfortable walking/jogging destination a few blocks into our neighborhood. We are in one of the highest elevated areas of St. Petersburg with several convenient, small businesses on 16th Street and Haines Road.
History
Our neighborhood association has been meeting for more than two (2) years now. While we have not incorporated, membership (free) and activities are increasing.
Organizations/programs
We meet on the 3rd Monday of each month (possible exception July & August) at 7:30 p.m. at the Northside United Methodist Church (44th Avenue North and 21st Street North). Meetings are open to public and no dues are charged. Volunteer donations and labor allow us to distribute our informative newsletter to all 650 homes in our neighborhood. Occasional potluck dinners, candidate forums, monthly guest speakers and clean up projects have been well received.

Harris Park has applied and received a grant October 16, 1997. We also expect improvements along the Haines Road corridor with the "Penny for Pinellas" fund.
