Who We Are: The Bay Park Civic Association and Our Role in the Community
The Bay Park Civic Association (BPCA) is a key community organization dedicated to improving the Bay Park and East Rockaway neighborhoods. As a vital part of the local community, the BPCA works to enhance the quality of life for residents through a variety of programs, events, and advocacy efforts. The BPCA also advocates for the Bay Park area with the Town of Hempstead and Nassau County, ensuring that local concerns are heard and addressed at the municipal level. From promoting neighborhood safety to supporting local initiatives, the BPCA plays a crucial role in bringing neighbors together and addressing community issues. With a focus on preserving the charm and growth of Bay Park, the BPCA ensures that the area remains a great place to live and thrive. As an integral part of the community, the BPCA strengthens local connections and helps maintain a supportive, engaged environment for all residents. We are always looking to strengthen our presence and encourage all members of the community to join us in our efforts to make Bay Park a better place to call home. Whether through community events or neighborhood improvements, the BPCA is at the heart of the area’s growth and success.
