About Neighborhood

The Forest Park East Civic Association is made up of residents of the East Forest Park Neighborhood in Springfield, Massachusetts. The association fights aggressively to ensure that the quality of life in our neighborhood is maintained by fighting adverse zoning changes. This group has fought to re-align the intersection of Abbott Street & Plumtree Road and has helped to get traffic lights installed. The association meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 6:00pm in the EFP Branch Library, 136 Surrey Rd. Meetings are usually 1 1/2 hours. Please reserve some time to meet your neighbors and to protect the quality of life in East Forest Park.

East Forest Park neighborhood is located in the south central part of the city, beginning about two miles from the Central Business District. It is a medium size Springfield neighborhood, containing 1,231 acres, plus rights of way and water bodies. Principal boundaries are Watershops Pond to the north; the Town of East Longmeadow to the south; Schneelock Brook to the east; and the former Highland Division Rail Line to the west.
