City of Austin's 25th Annual National Night Out

Event Time: 
10/07/2008 6:00pm - 8:00pm

On Tuesday October 7, 2008 neighborhoods throughout Austin are invited to join with thousands of communities nationwide for the 25th Annual National Night Out. Pioneer Crossing West will be hosting two separate parties for the two sides of our neighborhood. One will be at the swimming pool (1805 Musket Valley Trail) and the other will be at Payton Falls Park (1630 Payton Falls Drive). So, lock your doors, turn on your porch lights and come meet/greet your neighbors! Activities are planned for the kids!

Bring along:

  • A snack or dessert to share
  • A lawn chair or family blanket
  • A flash light

Sodas and bottled water will be provided. You can get directions on our Map and Directions page. There are several placemarks on the map, and two of them mark the swimming pool and the park.

National Night Out is designed to:

  1. Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
  2. Generate support and participation in crime efforts.
  3. Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community relations.
  4. Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

On October 7th, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, residents in neighborhoods throughout Austin and across the nation are asked to turn on their porch lights, lock their doors and spend the evening outside with their neighbors, police officers, firefighters and EMS paramedics. Events such as cookouts, block parties and neighborhood walks will all occur simultaneously throughout the city and nationwide.

This evening is a great opportunity for citizens and law enforcement to partner up against crime. We are encouraging everyone to come meet your neighbors and commit to help law enforcement reduce crime in your community. It is time to show the criminal element that we as a society are not going to just sit back and let crime occur in our neighborhoods. APD will make every effort to have an officer stop by each registered neighborhood party.

I went with my family to meet out HOA members and NOBODY, not even member of the committee were there. HOW ASHAME.. How do they expect us to be involved if they are not to begin with?

Really?! Which location did

Really?! Which location did you go to? There was one at the swimming pool and one at the little park over on Payton Falls Drive. I suspect you went to the pool location. My girlfriend and I went to the Payton Falls one, and we saw one board member and at least 4 committee members there. We couldn't stay very long because we had other plans, but it seemed to have a nice little turnout. I know that most of the Board members live in the Payton Falls side of the neighborhood, and I suspect that most of the committee members do as well. So, maybe they were simply attending the Payton Falls location because it was the one closest to them?
