Part of Rancho Los Alamitos, John W. Bixby and the original park superintendent, Mr. Nessick planted trees on the site between 1886 and 1903. The original portion of the park was donated in 1903, by the Alamitos Land Company, as part of the subdivision of the Alamitos Beach Town site. It was known as Alamitos Park. After annexation to the Long Beach in 1905, the park was renamed Jotham Bixby Park in February 1907. By 1928 Bixby Park was famous for large state picnics.
A great location for a special event, it is the home of Bixby Park Local Harvest Farmers’ Market.
There is a variety of farm fresh Certified California Grown Fruits and Vegetables, along with fresh cooked fare vendors, and a wide variety of gourmet specialty foods.
Arts, crafts and jewelry from local area vendors can also be found and purchased here.

National Night Out
2017-08-01 17:00 - 20:30
National Night Out (NNO) is a community-building campaign annually on the first Tuesday in August.
Neighborhoods across the nation host community events to promote public safety and partnerships between the community and law enforcement.
The 3rd District Council Office and the Long Beach Police Department have teamed to support your hosting an event at your home:

Make it a casual get-together on your front lawn or porch
Invite your neighbors and friends
Make it a team effort –Make it a potluck for dinner, desserts, or drinks
Turn on the outdoor lights and lock the doors — for everyone’s safety

Call or email LBPD Neighborhood Services Specialist Ruth Anne Salau so she can arrange to have a member of the Long Beach Police Department stop by your event. Call (562) 570-5808 or email mailto:ruthanne.salau@longbeach.gov
National Night Out promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Additionally, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. The program enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community.
When neighbors connect, crime is reduced!

Long Beach Public Safety Committee Meeting
2017-07-13 18:00 | 2249 Argonne Ave, Long Beach, CA
Are you interested in public safety in the city?
3rd District City Councilwoman Suzie Price will be holding meetings at different locations and times to make them more accessible to Long Beach residents.
Agenda Items for This Meeting:

Police Department’s Quality of Life Officiers
Tracking for Misdemeanor Arrests
Feasibility of Reinstating the Safe Ride Program for Students

More info is available using the link below.

As Chair of the Public Safety Committee I am convening a meeting on Thursday, July 13th at 6:00 PM

This meeting is being held at the Fire Department Training Center at 2249 Argonne Ave. Classroom #2.

The Committee will be holding meetings at different locations and times than usual in an effort to be more accessible to Long Beach residents. Public Safety Committee meetings have historically been held at City Hall during a weekday afternoon. This location and time creates difficulty for many Long Beach residents to attend, which is compounded by current construction. With these factors in mind, the Public Safety Committee decided to periodically hold meetings across the City in different communities and at times that are easier for residents to attend.

I want to ensure that the committee provides better outreach to Long Beach residents and an easier forum for them to be informed and provide their input by taking the conversation to the people. This meeting’s topics will include a report on Long Beach Police Department’s Quality of Life Officers, tracking for misdemeanor arrests, and the feasibility of reinstating the Safe Ride Program for students to avoid taking rides with potentially drunk drivers.

I hope you can come and be a part of these important conversations.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact City Hall Office at (562)570-6300 or District3@longbeach.gov.

Sincerely,
Suzie Price
Councilwoman, Third District
