The Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association (RPCRA) is an organization composed of residents of the Riverside Park area who volunteer their time to represent the interests of their community. The association is dedicated to:

• Maintaining and enhancing the quality of life, the environment and the community spirit of Riverside Park
• Promoting the interests of the residents of Riverside Park
• Issuing the letters of non-objections for events and festivals
• Representing the concerns of the residents of Riverside Park to local, municipal and provincial governments

Our goals are to maintain and enhance the character and quality of life within our community; to maintain a liaison and coordination with other community associations and groups; and to create awareness within the community of issues affecting it and the City as a whole.
