Keeping Our Neighborhood Clean

No matter how many houses are rehabbed or apartments built, most residents have to deal with other issues such as the cleanliness of their immediate area outside that which has been recently rehabbed or built. In several national studies, there is some evidence that the physical environment has other effects on health and well-being, including effects on mental health and child development. A study examining the emotional adjustment of children aged 9 to 11 years indicated that children living on commercial streets in inner-city neighborhoods were more lonely, fearful, and unhappy than their counterparts in strictly residential neighborhoods, after family composition and social class were controlled.

In response to those studies, the staff at West Lakes Partnership has been working with absentee landlords and the city's Code Enforcement Division to clean-up certain parts of the West Lakes neighborhood. The initiative has been met with great success. No resident - in the City Beautiful - should have to live near the conditions shown in these photos.


For code issues, go to https://www.orlando.gov/Building-Development/Code-Enforcement/Report-a-Code-Violation or call your district city commissioner. Thanks to our volunteer code enforcement team of residents for the pictures.

Barker Park Farmers Market Events 

West Lakes Partnership has said it once and we will say it again, what is going on at Barker Park each Saturday is community engagement at its finest! If you haven't attended these activities at the park, you can't understand what the community is doing or saying. Fresh fruits and fish; jazz and gospel; fresh green or grits; Black History and Juneteenth —just to name a few delicacies or themes for events held weekly at the park. 

All these goings-on are part of what makes West Lakes a great place to live. Besides being fun, well-managed events it offers a host of economic and social benefits to the neighborhood.

The economic benefits of Barker Park Farmers Market are easiest to see and most often cited–it attracts visitors, which stimulates the growth of interest in the neighborhood and dollars in businesses throughout the neighborhood. 

Let us know you are coming the week of Juneteenth and we will give you a $5 gift card to use at any vendor. Look for Timothy Ayers.
