The APBW is funded by a grant from the City of Phoenix and services the one square mile from 35th to 43rd Avenues and Thunderbird to Greenway Roads.
The Acoma Park Block Watch serves the homeowners and residents of the Acoma Park Neighborhoods or Sunburst Farms communities.
Our general meetings are held on the first Wednesday of January, March, May, August, October and December at the Light and Life Church at Greenway and 39th Avenue. All meetings begin at 6:30 pm. Please check events section for updates.
The mission of this Block Watch program is to improve our subdivision safety, awareness, improvement, community involvement and provide advocacy for our base to the city.
The APBW serves as an umbrella organization over other neighborhood projects. You will find more information on events hosted by or supported by the APBW on the Facebook page events calendar.
One of the organizations supported by the APBW is a network of Little Free Libraries paid for by an additional City of Phoenix grant and pending installation within our neighborhood through volunteers from the block watch.
If you own your property INSIDE our service area and would like to host a library in your front yard, you are invited to email us at this email address.
