5 Ways to Improve your Neighborhood

The addition of amenities and features within a neighborhood has the power to bring people together for the common good and makes an area a better place to live. There are many ways that areas can be improved and people of all ages can participate in the projects. Just be sure to obtain the appropriate permissions and any required permits.

Create Pet Poop Stations

Picking up after your pet during a walk is the right and sanitary thing to do. However, no one wants to carry dog poop all the way back home to dispose of it. Establishing pet poop stations provides pet owners with an easy, convenient, and sanitary way to dispose of their pet’s waste. The stations help keep neighborhoods clean while minimizing contamination from bacteria and parasites. Waste left on the ground eventually finds its way to waterways where it behaves in the same way as any raw sewage.

Walking and Fitness Trails

Walking, biking, and hiking are some of the most popular activities across the U.S. A trail doesn’t have to be elaborate or extensive to be effective and enjoyable. Urban fitness trails are a clever way to wisely utilize space. It aids communities in maintaining health, wellness, and provides an additional recreational space.

Picnic Tables and Benches

Both of these additions make neighborhoods feel welcoming. They provide a resting place for older individuals and an amenity where family and friends can gather. They’re also an appealing way for people to get out in the open air to relax and relieve stress.

Shade Trees

City landscapes often have few trees and greenery, but urban areas typically have land that isn’t being tended or isn’t in use. They provide an ideal location for planting trees, bushes, and flowers. Green spaces are an important element that promotes mental health, relieves stress, and is psychologically relaxing. Trees and plants have the added benefit of helping to clean the air, cool their immediate surroundings, and produce oxygen.

Community Garden

There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of growing your own food and a community garden will provide fresh, nutritious vegetables that can be shared throughout the neighborhood. Planting and tending the garden is also healthy exercise.
