Get Involved :: Neighborhoods Program
Arlington’s Neighborhoods Program helps improve and enhance Arlington neighborhoods. When the program - originally titled the Neighborhood Conservation Program - was created in 1964, the goal was to empower residents by having them come together to discuss and share ideas for improving their neighborhoods. Today, the program provides funding for a variety of improvements including: installation of sidewalks, curbs and gutters, streetlights, signs, park improvements, neighborhood art and beautification. This program empowers citizens to identify and plan projects in their own neighborhoods.
Communities participating in the Arlington Neighborhoods Program benefit from being involved in the process for improving their own neighborhoods and help get funds for important projects. It’s also a great way for neighborhoods to directly engage with Arlington County.
When a neighborhood participates in the Neighborhoods Program, it becomes part of a larger community known as the Neighborhoods Advisory Committee (ArNAC). The County Board relies on the ArNAC to report on the issues of greatest concern to our community members. Neighborhoods Program representatives serve on the ArNAC and help to develop recommendations for improving the neighborhood conservation process and participate in implementing County bond funds.

In the summer and fall of 2023, the Waverly Hills Civic Association worked together with Arlington County to develop a proposal for enhancements to Woodstock Park. The proposal can be viewed here.
