Overview and goals of the Bluff Park Neighborhood Association
The Bluff Park Historic District is located in the City of Long Beach, California bordered by the vibrant downtown section, two trendy shopping & dining areas on Broadway and 2nd Street and on the South side by the beautiful Bluff Park, bike path and Pacific Ocean. There is a pleasant mix of single family homes (many with a small cottage over the garages), and small income properties consisting of 2 to 4 residences. Most of the homes were built prior to 1950 on a grand scale with great attention to detail.
The Bluff Park Neighborhood Association (BPNA) is a nonprofit volunteer organization, initially established to protect and promote the historic character of our neighborhood. Over the years, many of our residents, elected officials and City employees have given generously of their time and efforts to truly make our Bluff Park neighborhood a place to be proud of. Our “Success Stories Page” informs you of these people and events.
We have an ongoing need for volunteers and appreciate your time, whether you give a few hours a year or become involved in lengthy projects. We encourage all Bluff Park residents to consider membership. The reasons are many and explained in the membership section.
Finally, please remember we are volunteers too, we have “day” jobs and personal lives, so please allow us a week to respond to your inquiries. Also, be sure to check our city/community links page, as many times issues are more efficiently resolved by our knowledgeable city employees and elected officials.

Becoming a member
By membership we mean we want your email address so we can inform you of upcoming events and neighborhood issues in a timely fashion. Some of the emails will be about fundraisers and some will announce upcoming city council issues. Our position on council issues is to inform you of topics directly affecting our historic preservation and neighborhood needs, provide the contact information and encourage you to phone or email the relevant official and let your thoughts be known!
Our elected officials and city employees are hard working and smart but not mind readers, they want to do what the majority wants and what their budget can afford. We can help them by letting them know our thoughts.
